The Management of the University of Jos, Plateau State, has fixed April 13 for the continuation of its first semester examination suspended due to terror attacks in the city.
The Deputy Registrar Information and Public Relations of the university, Emmanuel Madugu, made the disclosure in a statement on Friday in Jos.

“For further clarification on this, students are advised to contact the examinations time table officer in their respective faculties,” he said
