BREAKING: CABTAN Gives UNILORIN 7- days Ultimatum To Reverse Go Home Order Or It Will Shut Down Institution. (Details)

In regards to the recent situation In the University of Ilorin where over two thousands candidates who were given admission have been asked to home due to Unacceptable result, the Citizens Action To Take Back Nigeria (CATBAN) has given the institution a Seven days ultimatum to withdraw it's order or be left with no option other than to mobilize our teeming civil society networks to occupy University of Ilorin and shutdown the institution. A recent release by the Citizens Action To Take Back Nigeria (CATBAN) titled 'MPUNITY AND ENDEMIC FRAUD AT UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN MUST STOP said; 'CATBAN has reliably gathered from available findings & evidence that over 2000 new entrants/students admitted into the University that have paid in over N40 million into the University’s coffers have been asked to go home by the University. According to the affected students, no reasonable explanation was provided by the University, other than claims of ‘’unacceptable results’’, whatever that means.' 'After some students of the institution, in their large numbers, protested against this fraudulent practice by the University on 23rd January 2017, the University released a press statement in which it threatened the students with what we simply refer to as “imaginary prosecution” should they continue to seek justice.' 'This threat of “imaginary prosecution” aimed at victims by the authorities of University of Ilorin, was to dissuade the students from protecting their lawful interest and rights as Nigerian citizens, but this issue has gone beyond the students. It has now become a national issue of systemic fraud and economic corruption which we are willing to address once and for all.' 'In order to ensure that the affected students don’t commit any wrong doing, CATBAN has asked some of them to present their results tagged as “unacceptable” by the University. This they did and to the best of our observations, there is absolutely nothing wrong with these results; neither do the results contain ant sort of error.' 'Contrary to the heinous claims by the University authorities, these students did not input any wrong grades into the system, neither did they supply wrong details to the University. Every information they uploaded into the system was clearly the same on their results as certified by CATBAN. In our continued search for facts about this matter, we were confronted with evidences that shows that this is not the first time such an incident has occured in University of Ilorin. As far as our investigations have gone, this fraudulent practice has been consistently sustained since 2012, and the victims have never had anyone listen to their woes until now, nor had the issues addressed. 'CATBAN’S investigative team have also gathered that University of Ilorin deliberately issues admission to students in excess of their capacity and quota, hoping to drain the additional students off their hard earned resources before sending them back home with unreasonable explanations. After paying all necessary fees, renting accommodation and attending lectures for months, victims will eventually be told that they had fake admission or that they have unacceptable results. Some previous victims also explained to our investigative team that the University may in some instances even claim your result doesn’t fit into the course you were given and instead of transferring you to a suitable course of study, would rather ask you to go home without returning your fees to you.' 'In view of the above, CATBAN demands an immediate reversal of the ‘’go home’’ order given by the University. Every student with admission letter, either provisional or otherwise, is already a student unless there exists concrete evidence to prove their wrong doing.' 'We give the University 7 days ultimatum to withdraw its go home order to the students and allow them continue their studies peacefully, failure to which CATBAN shall be left with no option other than to mobilize our teeming civil society networks to occupy University of Ilorin and shutdown the institution.' However, As at the time of this report, Lade's Signatory contacted the Director of corporate affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun to get his own side of the story who said he is still studying the report.
