The Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN) has clarified that Dr. Nasa’i Gwadabe, whose name has been linked to sexual harassment allegations circulating on social media, is no longer employed by the institution.
In a statement issued by the university's Registrar, Habibu Awaisu, MAAUN said Dr. Gwadabe's one-year appointment as a visiting lecturer ended in May 2026 and was not renewed. The university stressed that he is no longer affiliated with the institution.
According to the statement, visiting lecturers are employed on renewable one-year contracts, with renewals depending on performance, institutional needs, and management approval. The university noted that Dr. Gwadabe's contract expired alongside those of several other visiting lecturers.
MAAUN reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy on sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation, adding that it has established strict procedures for handling complaints involving staff and students.
The institution also highlighted a ₦5 million reward introduced by its Founder for any female student who reports and provides credible evidence of sexual harassment or assault by any lecturer or staff member through the appropriate channels.
The university dismissed claims circulating online that a student was delayed by two years because of the alleged incident or that a postgraduate student was among the alleged victims. It explained that MAAUN has only recently graduated its first set of students and has not yet started postgraduate programmes.
The management urged the public and media organisations to report the matter accurately and avoid referring to Dr. Gwadabe as a current lecturer of the university.
MAAUN reiterated that Dr. Gwadabe's association with the university ended in May 2026 and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism, ethics, and accountability.
