fiizznation: You people shouldn't disturb us with your petty nonsense. Katsina state practice sharia law incase most of you don't know. The university is a state owned institution which was established by katsina state and not Nigeria.
How many so-called state owned institutions in the east allow muslims associations in their respective schools? And you don't see muslims crying about it. Anyway you guys can cry over this for all I care.

A7: The authorities of the Umaru Yar’Ádua University, Katsina, have denied discriminating against Christian students in the approval granted a students religious association to operate on its campus.
The Acting Dean of Student Affairs of the University, Sulaiman Kankara, had in January 17 memo informed students of a new guideline for the registration of clubs and associations in the institution. In the circular, Dr. Kankara indicated that participation in clubs and associations, including departmental ones, were strictly optional and that no student should be compelled to pay dues. He also outlawed the formation of tribal and local government associations in the university. But the controversial part of the memo which made the document to go viral was the dean’s pronouncement that the “Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) is the only religious association allowed to operate on campus.”
After the memo was shared on social media, the university came under ferocious attacks from many Nigerians, with some commentators saying the guideline was part of government’s plot to Islamise Nigeria. But when contacted on Sunday morning, Dr. Kankara said that aspect of the guideline was actually targeted at Islamic groups which were beginning to mushroom on campus, creating division among students of the same faith.
The dean said, “Actually there is one misconception in the memo. But the fact of the matter is that in Umaru Yar’Ádua University, there is no association known as Christian Students Association.
“There is one religious association and subsidiary Islamic students associations like the Tijjanniya Students Movement in Nigeria, Academic Forum of Islamic Movement in Nigeria and many associations like that.
“They are Islamic students association. So what we want is to have a single union which will be the mouthpiece of muslim students and that is the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria.[/b
[b]“It has nothing to do with any Christian group because up till now, I have not received any application requesting registration of Christian Students Society. “And once they do that, we are ready to register them.
Even as at last week, we said the two religious group to be recognised by the university will be the Muslim one and one from Christian side.
“Up till now we are to receive any application for the registration of any Christian association in the university from any group.”

in all state universities in the south, east and west any association is free to form freely. In Abia state university, they were few then and as such didnt view it necessary to come together. so get your facts correct. before talking shit from your rotten gutter mouth |

Christians in the school never registered any form of organisation in the school, if they did it could have been duly recognised.

God will judge you and your like Your Injustice is legendary but you try to drown with propaganda Despite court order, Muslims are NOT allowed to have a mosque in River State University of Techhttps://www.nairaland.com/1319550/muslims-denied-place-worship-rivers In the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, for hundreds of Muslim students freedom of worship and lawful assembly have taken on the character of an illusion. The Muslim community has accused the management of religious intolerance, following the demolition of a makeshift Mosque where some students and staff of the university worship. Daily Trust investigations revealed that the Mosque was acquired about eleven years ago, but there was no structure built there. The worshippers used to observe their prayers on the floor. However, eight years later when the population of the students increased, the local chapter of the Muslim students society of Nigeria put resources together to erect a tent on the site. “But the management of the university used security operatives to remove the tent’’ said Sulaiman Abdul Awwal, an executive member of the Muslim students society of Nigeria, MSSN. According to him “thereafter, notable people from the state gave us money to construct another makeshift shelter. But we decided to lay a few blocks to separate the site from other facilities.” After the structure was raised, the management was said to have told the students that the Mosque was built on an unapproved site. “This prompted us to apply for a piece of land to build the Mosque,” Sulaiman added.
Daily Trust investigation revealed that Christian faithful such as the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Pentecostal worshippers have befitting places of worship in the university campus, which was constructed by the university authority. There were a series of letters written by the Students and addressed to the National Universities Commission, Rivers State governor, the office of the Vice Chancellor, as well as the Supreme Council for Islamic affairs to intervene in the matter. Despite all these letters no action was taken to remedy the situation.
The court thereafter granted the applicants prayer and in a Judgment delivered on 19th February 2013 by Justice Akanbe ordered the university authority to allocate a piece of land to the Muslim students for the purpose of construction of their Mosque. Since the judgment was delivered the university authority has refused to comply with the judgment, as the students are yet to secure a place of worship in the university. 1 Like |

Like most people, I was greeted by a report of a new regulations by the management of Umaru Yar'adua University (formerly Katsina State University) in which they proscribed every religious and tribal associations in the school with the exception of Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, a body for Muslim students. It is a shame that an institution of learning that is supposed to be a shinning light in the society will adopt a policy that is not only bigoted but also against the right of students as prescribed in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Katsina People, Not Muslims Own The University: The University is owned by the people of Katsina state. It was established by the government of Umaru Musa Yar'adua in 2006/07, funded with Katsina state resources for the people of Katsina state and other Nigerians. The institution is 100% public owned, it is not a private property of the Muslim population nor that of any faith. Hence, the school policies must be of public interest and not that of any religion or ethnic group.
I find it pathetic that some people choose to justify the clear discrimination against people of non-Muslim faith by the school management by drawing parallel with the policies of privately-owned tertiary institutions like Covenant University.
Since Katsina state belong to Katsina people irrespective of religious affiliation, Umaru Yaradua University is owned by Katsina state, common sense should tell that the University is owned by Katsina people irrespective of faith. The school must not be seen as discriminatory or appear to favor any religion over the other.
Regulations Against The Right of Students As Enshrined In The Nigeria Constitution: If you look at Section 38(3) of the Nigeria constitution that deals with freedom of religion and section 40 that deals with freedom of association, one will see clearly that the regulation has sought to deprive Nigerians/students of non-Muslim faith in the institution their right to freely worship and associate.
The fact that the regulation exclude Muslim society, it is pure discrimination against students of non-Muslim faith, a move that is contrary to Section 42. (1) of the Nigeria constitution.
We can't allow the institution to be a law of itself. It must be subjected to the constitution of the country.
Regulations Against African Charter on Human Right: Apart from flouting the Nigeria Constitution, the regulation of the University goes against Articles 8, 10 and 11 of the African Charter on Human Right, which Nigeria is a signatory of.
Article 8 states that "Every person shall enjoy Freedom of conscience, the profession and free practice of religion shall be guaranteed. No one may, subject to law and order, be submitted to measures restricting the exercise of these freedoms."
Article 10(1) states that "Every individual shall have the right to free association provided that he abides by the law." While Article 11 guarantees right to assemble with others.
Being a component of Nigeria and public institution, the University is subject to the various provisions of the charter. It is a matter of obligation not by choice.
While some may argue that Katsina is a sharia state, that would hold no water. This is because the Sharia law or any other law of parliament cannot take preeminence over the Constitution of Nigeria nor the African Charter, which Nigeria is a signatory of.
In fact, sections 1(1) and 1(3) of the Constitution clearly state that:
"This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on all authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria." S1(1)
"If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void." S1(3).
That said, I expect Nigerians in one voice irrespective of religious faith to call the management of the University and Katsina state Governor, Bello Mansari to order. We can't allow illegality to reign in this country. Allowing such move will further heat up the polity.
May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

fiizznation: You people shouldn't disturb us with your petty nonsense. Katsina state practice sharia law incase most of you don't know. The university is a state owned institution which was established by katsina state and not Nigeria.
How many so-called state owned institutions in the east allow muslims associations in their respective schools? And you don't see muslims crying about it. Anyway you guys can cry over this for all I care.
Is like wailing is your calling. And I think people are already used to your silly shenanigans
What a silly way to display your arrogance. Typical H/F Muslim! You hate correction, that's why you're stuck in the stone age. That's why you guys never get it right. Instead of analyzing the issue from a neutral perspective, you went on the defensive firing missiles as if someone cursed you out. Katsina state should first prove she is capable of standing on her own by generating enough revenue to pay her workers for just one month before we take your outburst seriously. Beggars acting like spoilt brats! What nonsense! You're not even ashamed of yourself, talking about sharia in the 21st century. I can see how it has helped you. 2 Likes |

Is Katsina state not part and parcel of Nigeria? Is Sharia law in Nigeria greater than our constitutional laws? Is Islam the sole religion in Katsina? Are all Katsina state people Muslims? Is the Kastina state government the government of only Muslims? Is the Sharia not regulated by law? Is it not bound by the provisions of our constitution? Is the operation of Sharia law not itself regulated by section 1(3) of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria? Was the fund used by the state to build the university pooled by the muslim community? Have you heard /seen a similar directive in any University (Federal or State) anywhere in the South? You argue blindly. No, you argue knowingly against reason and you just don't care because religion is involved: so for you that's the long and short of it. It's not you people 's fault oh. It's the moronic people in the south who permit such a rape on themselves in the name of turning the other cheek doctrine. Not once have anyone of you bothered to fling sentiment aside, and do the needful by speaking the truth to situations like this. That is why Boko Haram as an adjunct of Islam continues to thrive because there are no active condemnation of them; atleast not until they went berserk and started blowing up mosques too. Stinking hypocrisy. |

The two should not mixed up. you separate your own, we are Muslim till we die inshALLAH. We are Muslims before being Nigerians and it is not for you people that we will compromise our religion. No Muslim is ever afraid of a disbeliever we will never shy away from speaking the truth even if you don't like it. |

... Just like Donald Trump said, all politicians, the hypocritical OP are all "talk without action". As long as you are short sighted and you haven't come to the realization that the country is never one, you will always end up been "talk talk man" and that's where it ends. No action, no traction! |

Sibrah: This is a wrong move by the Katsina university. It must be noted however that this pattern of hijacking public properties has been there for long. The VC of Federal University are 95% likely to be from the state or region where the universities is sited. people like you disgust me even when the school has come out and denied the fake news and clarified its position. You are inciting hatred STOP IT NOW |

I can see how it has helped you. ignorant piece of dirt. People in their land you want to tell them how you thing they should live and organize their communities. You are pathetic. You are the kind of black people in Europe or US that white people racially insult every and allow you to wash their toilets and you deserve it because even the white man knows you can't think for yourselves |

Normally, I don't respond to illiterates, but because I wanted you to get that into your dumb skull, I had to make an exception. So who invented Islam, your father? Go back to school before you embarrass yourself next time. And before you bomb yourself all in the name of religion, just know that you're wasting away over nothing. Dullard! You lot are dumber than I've ever imagined. Damn. Illiterates everywhere. Ba ka da wayo wallahi. |
