Kaduna University suspends academic activities

The Kaduna State University (KASU), on Tuesday, suspended academic activities for its undergraduate students indefinitely.

The Registrar of KASU, Mr Samuel Manshop, announced this in a statement in Kaduna.

Manshop, who did not give reasons for the suspension, nevertheless, declared that academic activities would continue for postgraduate programmes, college of medicine, pharmaceutical sciences and part-time programmes.

He said, “The management of KASU wishes to notify staff, students and the public that academic activities for undergraduate students have been suspended indefinitely.

“Postgraduate programmes, college of medicine, faculty of pharmaceutical sciences and part-time programmes are to continue with their activities.

“Staff are also expected to report to work as usual, while management will communicate further developments.”

The undergraduate students had protested the increment in school fees from between N24,0000 and N36,000 to between N100,000 and N400,000.

The students, who started the protest since the increase was declared in April, demanded a reversal of the new school fees.
