Gulu University has interdicted its Dean of Students, Dr. Stella Amero Eduan, following an internal audit report highlighting alleged financial mismanagement and administrative irregularities.
In a circular dated April 21, 2026, the University Secretary, David Obol Otori, announced the interdiction, citing resolutions from the 13th Meeting of the Audit and Risk Management Committee held on April 17, 2026.
According to the circular, the committee reviewed two key audit reports: the Internal Audit Report on the Gulu University Medical Unit and the Internal Audit Report on the Dean of Students’ office.
Findings contained in the circular, seen by Favour fm, raised concerns about the management of funds and adherence to established procedures within the Dean of Students’ office.
The audit detailed several irregularities attributed to Dr. Amero, including missing payment vouchers, unaccounted-for funds processed and deposited into her account for official activities, and cash payments totaling Shs 214 million linked to student-related expenditures.
The Audit and Risk Management Committee concluded that the matters were serious and warranted immediate and thorough investigation.
James Ojok Onono, the University Public Relations Officer, confirms the interdiction to Favour fm, noting that the move followed an internal audit.
In an interview with Favour fm, Dr. Amero said she would cooperate with the university during the investigation, describing herself as a law-abiding citizen.
