The management of the University of Jos has announced the suspension of the institution’s ongoing second semester examinations which had begun on Monday 9th August, 2021. The suspension is due to the recent security challenges and tension in Jos, the Plateau state capital.

The management has therefore advised both staff and students (within the school hostel and off campus) to remain at home till further notice.

Recall that yesterday, about 22 persons were reportedly killed in Rukuba which has aroused tension in parts of the state. The state government earlier today announced a 24 hours curfew in Jos North, Bassa and Jos South local government areas of the state in a bid to curtail the security situation.

The Deputy Registrar, Information and Publications of the University of Jos, Abdullahi Abdullahi issued the following press statement to the university staff, students and the general public on behalf of the institution.
