Ahmad explained that if the regulations in each university are in place, his party is not included in that realm. Previously, Sadari Zega was in the spotlight after claiming that his diploma was withheld by the campus because of his criticism on social media.
Zega, who has completed his studies and graduated in December 2023, admitted that he had difficulty collecting his diploma because he was living outside the area and was the breadwinner for the family.
He had fulfilled all the requirements for obtaining a diploma, but Unias asked Sadari to return to Nias and apologize for his criticism on Facebook.

“I don’t know for sure why Unias is holding my diploma. I have fulfilled all the rules and letters regarding collecting diplomas if students are out of town, and some of my friends have been able to collect their diplomas by their parents or guardians. Then why is it being held back and not given to me?” he added.
UNIAS Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Adieli Laoli, through his official statement, said that Sadari Zega mentioned that there were individuals who deliberately slowed down and made it difficult to collect diplomas according to their status on social media.
Therefore, the University requested that Sadari Zega provide direct clarification before handing over the diplomas.
“This is to find out who the person is who intentionally did this so that strict action and sanctions can be taken,” he said. (Z-8)
