Story from Yakubu VENTIM, Jos
Following the unfortunate security breach that occurred in some parts of Jos Metropolis, which led the Plateau State Government to impose a 24-hour curfew in Jos North local government area, the management of the University of Jos has approved the suspension of the ongoing Second Semester examinations for the 2019/2020 Academic Session.
Consequently, all examinations earlier scheduled between Monday 16th and Saturday 21st, August 2021 have been suspended until further notice.
Students of the university residing in the various hostels have been advised to remain within their hostels of residence and avoid unnecessary movements, while those that are resident outside the campuses were asked to remain at home during this period.
Similarly, staff of the university have been enjoined to remain at home while the 24-hour curfew remains in effect.
The circular said that management is working round the clock in close collaboration with the security agencies and the Plateau State Government to ensure that lives and properties of members of the university community, especially students, are adequately protected.
While appreciating the government, security agencies as well as members of the public who have shown great concern about the plight of the University during this difficult period, the management stressed the need for members of the university community, especially staff and students, to exercise caution and comply with all security directives during this period.
