Management of the University of Jos has approved the suspension of the ongoing second semester examinations for the 2019/2020 academic session.
This was made known in a statement signed by the varsity’s Deputy Registrar, Information and Publications, Abdullahi Abdullahi on Sunday.
Consequently, all examinations earlier scheduled between Monday 16th and Saturday 21st, August, 2021 have been suspended until further notice.
This came following the unfortunate security breach that occurred in some parts of Jos Metropolis which has led the Plateau State Government to impose a 24-hour curfew in Jos North Local Government Area.
All students of the University residing in the various hostels are hereby strongly advised to remain within their hostels of residence and avoid unnecessary movements as Management has been working round the clock in close collaboration with the security agencies and the Plateau State Government to ensure that the lives and properties of members of the university community especially students are adequately protected.
Students that are residents outside the campuses are also advised to remain at home during this period.
Similarly, staff of the university are enjoined to remain at home while the 24-hour curfew remains in effect.
Management wishes to appreciate 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.
Members of the university community especially staff and students are hereby advised to exercise caution and comply with all security directives during this period.
