Benue varsity suspends all medical students for protesting

The Benue State University, Makurdi, has suspended all medical students from 200 to 600 levels for one-month following a protest on October 25 over alleged poor accommodation and infrastructure.

The students of the institution’s College of Health Sciences had marched to the State Government House to intimate Governor Hyacinth Alia about their plight and sought for measures to remedy the situation.

In a statement on Monday signed by the Registrar, Mrs Mfaga Modom, the school announced the suspension of the students and gave them an immediate order to vacate their hostels by 8 am.

The statement added that on resumption at the end of the one-month suspension, the students must come with a sworn affidavit from a competent court of law, pledging to be of good conduct.
