FUDMA shut down amid students’ protest
The management of the Federal University Dutsinma in Katsina has announced a one-week mid-semester break starting from February 24.
The closure of the school followed a protest embarked on by the students on Sunday after they alleged that the Civilian Joint Task Force had shot to death one of their colleagues.
The students’ protest continued Monday morning.
Reports indicated that the JTF members on Sunday shot the student, alleging that he was an informant.
The FUDMA vice-chancellor, Armaya’u Bichi, announced the decision of the Senate to close the school in a statement issued in Katsina on Monday.
Mr Bichi further advised the students to leave campus before 6:00 p.m. on February 24.
“The management wishes the students a happy and peaceful mid-semester break,” he said.
