The Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) has dismissed its Director of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Isah Yusuf Tsafe, over allegations of misconduct and negligence.
The university’s Governing Council announced the decision after disciplinary proceedings found the former ICT director guilty of gross misconduct, negligence and failure to account for university property under his supervision.
The development was contained in a statement issued by the institution’s Head of Information and Public Relations, Jamilu Magaji.
According to the statement, the council approved Tsafe’s dismissal after reviewing findings from the disciplinary process.
The university also sanctioned another ICT staff member, Abdullahi Mohammed Adamu, over activities linked to the admission process.
FUBK said Adamu was reduced by one grade level and would not be eligible for promotion for the next 5 years.
The institution accused him of carrying out financial dealings with parents of admission seekers despite not being part of the university’s admissions team.
The statement explained that Adamu also became involved in admission-related activities without authorisation from the university.
“The Council also directed the university management to recover or surcharge the value of all outstanding university property linked to the case,” the statement said.
The university stated that the disciplinary actions reflected the Governing Council’s resolve to maintain discipline, professionalism and accountability in the institution’s administration.
According to the statement, the council remains committed to ensuring responsible conduct and merit-based operations across the university system.
