The Students’ Union Government (SUG) House of Parliament at the University of Jos has suspended the incumbent President Kangyang Jane Pwajok following allegations of financial misconduct and abuse of office.

She was the second female student to be elected SUG President in the history of Nigeria University system.

In a resolution passed during a plenary session on June 27, 2025, the Parliament cited the President’s unauthorized withdrawal of Union funds without the consent of the Financial Secretary and Treasurer. It was also alleged that the President held Union funds for over a month without proper remittance or disclosure, in clear violation of established financial regulations.

Further complaints, presented by the Public Relations Officer and the Secretary General, highlighted additional misconducts including abuse of office and disregard for constitutional procedures.

Following a motion duly moved and seconded, 32 out of 42 Senators voted in favor of the suspension.

Effective immediately, the President is suspended for a period of six weeks. During this time, the Vice President will assume leadership in an acting capacity to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the Union.

The Parliament reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability, urging students to remain calm, law-abiding, and continue supporting the Union as it works in the best interest of the student body.

Kangyang Jane Pwajok, a medical student at the University of Jos (UNIJOS), made history in November 2024 by becoming the institution’s first female Student Union Government (SUG) president.

She emerged victorious after polling 1,682 votes, defeating her closest rival, Kiku Roy Magaji, who garnered 969 votes.
