Adding that if invited by National Assembly,the VC will honour it.

The information circulating on social media claimed,t Shehu Abubakar Tadda wrote a complaint letter inviting the House of Representatives Committee on Tertiary institutions to investigate alleged maladministration and incompetent leadership by the VC.

In the press statement signed by the National President of Northern Coalition of Socio-Political Forum,Comrade Musa Mohammed, "The trending social media information  is nothing  but a calculated attempt by some mischievous elements to damage the hard earned reputation of the Vice Chancellor,who has inculcated the culture of financial discipline since he assumed office 

The statement made available to journalists in Kaduna further further held that Prof. Bichi has a good working relationship with members of staff and management that helped to drive development of the University.

"Though we are aware that the Management of Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA), Katsina State, has refuted the claims circulating in the media that the  Vice Chancellor, Prof. Armaya’u Hamisu Bichi has been summoned by the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions.

"But we glad to announce that  the university has clarified that neither the Vice Chancellor nor the institution has officially received any invitation regarding the alleged appearance on September 18, 2024.

"In the response,the university expressed surprise about the purported House of Representatives invitation from social media  with emphasis that Prof. Bichi holds great respect for the National Assembly and would honour any formal request."

It later discovered that a former staff member, Shehu Abubakar Tadda was behind the social media publication because, he was dismissed by the Governing Council after due process was followed.
