Why Benue State Varsity suspended all 200 to 600 level medical students
In an internal memo issued by the Management of Benue State University (BSU), Makurdi, all 200-600 level medical students have been suspended for one month.
The decision was made in light of recent demonstrations by the students on October 25th, as confirmed by the university spokesperson, Mr Tser Vanger.
The Registrar, Dr Mfaga Modom, stated in the memo that the suspension would begin on October 30th, at 8:00 a.m., and end on November 29th, when students are expected to resume their studies.
The Management took into consideration the actions of the students and reports from relevant authorities before arriving at this decision.

The memo further highlighted the disappointment of the Management with the students’ behavior before, during, and after the demonstration. In response, an investigative committee will be formed to identify and address the underlying causes of the demonstration.
The memo also outlined specific requirements for the suspended students upon their return. Each student must present a Sworn Affidavit from a competent Court of Law declaring their good conduct, accompanied by their Parent/Guardian who will sign an undertaking. Additionally, the Benue State University Medical Students Association (BESUMSA) has been suspended until further notice.
The memo concluded by directing the suspended medical students to vacate their hostels immediately on October 30th. “However, it emphasized that the academic activities of the 100-level medical students remain unaffected by the suspension”.
