AE FUNAI Suspension Of Clinical Programs

In a significant development from the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ikwo (AE-FUNAI), the university’s management has announced a suspension. The decision impacts the clinical programs for the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 academic sessions.

AE FUNAI Suspension Of Clinical Programs

Rationale Behind the Decision

The AE-FUNAI management’s move comes in response to a series of concerns:

1. Non-payment of Fees: A notable number of students have not met their financial obligations, specifically their academic session fees for both 2021/2022 & 2022/2023. These include charges related to hostel accommodation and other essential fees which had prior approval from the university’s Governing Council.
2. Disciplinary Issues: The university has observed a continued pattern of misdemeanour and actions that starkly contradict the stipulations set out in the AE-FUNAI Students’ Handbook. Such instances of gross misconduct have necessitated this hard stance.

Immediate Implications for Students

Students enrolled in the aforementioned clinical programs have been directed to:

• Vacate Hostel Premises: All affected students are to leave the hostels by or before 4 pm on 25th October 2023. This deadline has been set to ensure compliance and orderliness in the execution of the decision.
• Strict Monitoring: Post the specified deadline, any student found within the hostel precincts after 4 pm will be reported to the University Students’ Disciplinary Committee. This body will then determine the appropriate disciplinary actions to be taken against the individual.

It’s essential to underscore that this decision exclusively concerns students from the College of Medicine at AE-FUNAI.
