A 100 level student of the Moddibo Adama
University of Technology has committed suicide
after she saw her first year result and discovered
that her performance was very poor. The girl,
who has not been named, ingested insecticide in
Oba Adetona Hostel of the University where she
lodged.
She was an undergraduate of the department of
Management; School of Management and
Information Technology (SMIT). According to a
source who spoke with LIB her main reason for
committing suicide was that she had carry-over
in 9 courses in her first semester in the
institution.
"She was a 100 level student of
Management Department of the School of
Management and Information Technology
(SMIT). She saw her first semester result
and had F in 9 courses so she went back
to her hostel and drank ota pia pia," the
source told LIB.
The school, which was formerly called Federal
University of Science and Technology, Yola,
FUTY, before the name was changed in 2011 to
MAUTECH, is rumored among students to be a
tough institution to pass through and this will
not be the first time a student became frustrated
after seeing their result.
The school authority is yet to give an official
statement as regards the incident.
