Benue State University (BSU), Makurdi’s management has issued a one-month suspension to all medical students ranging from 200-level to 600-level due to their involvement in a recent demonstration on campus.

This suspension was formally communicated on Monday through an internal memo signed by the university’s Registrar, Dr. Mfaga Modom.

The university’s spokesperson, Mr. Tser Vanger, has also verified the suspension. According to Daily Post, the Registrar specified in the memo that the suspension takes effect from 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 30, with students expected to return on Wednesday, November 29.

Modom in the memo said that the school management reviewed the recent actions of the affected students and reports from relevant authorities regarding their demonstration of October 25, and that the management also noted with dismay the recalcitrant attitude of the students before, during and after the demonstration.

The Registrar warned that on resumption, each student should bring a Sworn Affidavit from a competent Court of Law attesting to be of good conduct. Each student should also come along with his/her Parent/Guardian, who will sign an undertaking.

She said that “The Benue State University Medical Students Association (BESUMSA) has also been suspended with immediate effect till further notice,” warning the suspended medical students to immediately vacate their hostels on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Registrar said the academic activities of the 100-level medical students remain uninterrupted.
