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.
