Alas!
The sledge hammer of the Nwuyi Okori
Sam-Uket led Senate of UNICAL Post-Graduate
Students Government (PGSG) has fallen on The Comrade Bassey Williams-led Executive
Council of the Post-Graduate Students Government (PGSG) of the University of
Calabar, Calabar (UNICAL), Thursday, when the senate slammed an indefinite
suspension on the entire Executive council.
TDN can confidently report.
Sitting
at the PGSG Common Lounge, Ali Monguno Republic, University of Calabar in the
course of its plenary, the 15-member Senate of PGSG UNICAL unanimoursly agreed
to suspend the entire executive, while the welfare committee of the Union was saddled
with the responsibility piloting the affairs of the executive arm of the union
pending when the investigative committee set up by the Senate President comes out
with their report.
This
suspension was to determine the alleged misappropriation of N1.2 million and
'disappearance' of N500,000 from the 6000873861(?) Heritage Bank account
of PGSG, UNICAL by Comr Williams EXCO.

Recall
that TDN had reported that about the N1.7 million was misappropriated by Comr.Bassey
Williams’ led executive who was sworn into office on the second of August 2017,
barley one month ago.
A
3-man Senate Adhoc Committee comprising Okii James(Chair), Mark Abuo, Akan Ime was constituted to determine the
alleged misappropriation and embezzlement of the sum of N1.7 million.
However, what TDN do not seem to understand is why the
entire executive council members were suspended, because the financial scandal
ropes round the President and his financial executive members. i.e the
Financial Secretary and the Treasurer.
The other
executive members also collected their take off grant from the president just
as the senate President and his senators did, so why suspend them for
collecting the same money you collected?
Or are
there other reasons the senate president has for suspending the entire
executive council members? As someone rightly asked is the Senate President interested
in the running of the executive arm of the union also?
What is
worth doing is worth doing well!!!
