Three students of Al-qalam University, Katsina in Katsina State have dragged the institution to a High Court in the state capital over the payment of their registration fees.
The applicants – Hauwa’u Sani-Barda, Rabi’atu Sani-Barda, and Hafsat Sani-Barda – all students of the university, got admission in 2018 and 2019 and graduated in 2022 and 2023.
They, however, claimed that the university refused to mobilise them for the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) because they had not settled all registration fees due to the institution.
During the proceedings on Thursday, March 28, 2024, the students’ counsel, Muhammad Mukhtar-Lawal, told the court that his clients filed an exparte motion in pursuance to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

Mukhtar-Lawal said the application sought the leave of the court to apply for judicial review.
After the counsel’s submission, the presiding judge, Justice Abbas Bawale, said the applicants should have filed a motion on notice.
Justice Bawale, however, granted a leave order to the applicants to apply for judicial review by way of mandamus.
The judge said after that, processes would be served on the university and enable the court to hear the case.
