The management of the Benue State University (BSU) in Makurdi, the state capital, has suspended all 200 to 600-level medical students of the institution for one month.
This was contained in an internal memo signed by the Registrar, Dr Mfaga Modom, a copy of which was made available to newsmen on Monday by the university spokesperson, Tser Vanger.
Modom stated that the medical students of the College of Health Sciences should proceed on a one-month suspension with effect from October 30 and resume on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.
Before arriving at this decision, she said the university management reviewed the recent actions of the affected students and reports from relevant authorities regarding their demonstration on October 25.
The BSU Registrar said the management also noted with dismay the recalcitrant attitude of the students before, during, and after the demonstration.

Modom added that an investigative committee would be constituted to look into the remote and immediate causes of the demonstration and advise as appropriate.
“A top Management Committee of the College of Health Sciences is hereby directed to implement the Resolutions of the Reports of the various committees on the students’ demonstration,” she said.
She warned that on resumption, each student should bring a Sworn Affidavit from a Court of Law attesting to be of good conduct.
The university Registrar added: “Each student should also come along with his/her Parent/Guardian who will sign an undertaking.
“The Benue State University Medical Students Association (BESUMSA) has also been suspended with immediate effect till further notice.”
Modom, however, said academic activities of the 100-level medical students remain uninterrupted.
