Nasarawa Varsity to remain shut – Governor


Nassarawa StateUniversity
Governor  Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State on Tuesday ordered that the Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), remained closed, pending the implementation of the investigative report on the students’ unrest in February.


Al-makura made the statement in Lafia when he a received the report of the unrest that led to the death of two students.

The state governor, who was represented by the Deputy Governor, Mr Dameshi Luka, said that the university authorities did not consult with the visitor to the university before recalling the students.

He, therefore, announced an indefinite suspension of the resumption date, pending full consideration of the report of the commission of inquiry.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the school’s senate in a statement by the registrar, Mr Dalhatu Mamman, had announced April 28 as the date for the re-opening of the institution.

Earlier, while presenting the report, the Chairman, Dr Amin Zaigi, expressed displeasure over the re-opening of the institution, saying that investigations were still going on.

He said, “we find it necessary to note our reservation over the re-opening of the university when we are still carrying out our work’’
