The University of Jos has announced the postponement of examinations earlier scheduled for Monday and Tuesday following the deadly attack on Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The decision was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Deputy Registrar, Information and Public Relations, Emmanuel Madugu, who said the directive came from the Vice Chancellor in response to rising security concerns.
According to the statement, the rescheduling of the examinations became necessary due to the tension generated by the Sunday night attack by gunmen on residents of Angwan Rukuba.
“The Vice Chancellor has directed that all examinations scheduled to be held on Monday and Tuesday will be rescheduled,” Madugu said, noting that a new timetable would be communicated in due course.
