Ebonyi University Releases Statement Regarding Tragic Suicide Of Final Year Student

According to reports from Naija News, Favour had successfully completed all her courses except for one, which she continuously failed despite her efforts. Allegedly, her struggles with this particular course, coupled with purported remarks from the course instructor, led to her drastic decision.

The deceased’s mother pointed fingers at the lecturer, holding them responsible for her daughter’s untimely demise.

In response to these accusations, Professor Amechi Enyi, the accused lecturer from the Department of English Language, refuted the claims during a recent interview with journalists in Abakaliki. He clarified that Favour had merely attempted to jot down three examination questions, emphasizing that her death should not be linked to academic matters.

Subsequently, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Chigozie Ogbu, addressed the media at the institution’s conference room, refuting Favour’s allegations against the lecturer. He presented official records of Favour Ugwuka’s academic performance, detailing her results since her first year.

According to the Vice Chancellor, Favour encountered academic challenges early on, failing several courses across different semesters. Notably, she struggled with ENG 416, a course she attempted twice without success.

Professor Ogbu emphasized the university’s protocol for handling such grievances, highlighting the process of requesting re-marking through the appropriate channels. He concluded that Favour’s academic records did not support the notion that she had been unfairly treated by the lecturer.

The Vice Chancellor provided a comprehensive overview of Favour’s academic journey, indicating her ongoing struggles with various courses throughout her time at the university
