The Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) in Katsina State has been shut down for one-week mid semester break starting from Feb. 24 due to students’ protest.
The FUDMA Vice Chancellor, Prof. Armaya’u Bichi, announced the decision of the Senate to close the school in a statement issued in Katsina on Monday.
Bichi ordered the students to leave campus before 6.00 p.m. on Feb. 24.
“The Management wishes the students a happy and peaceful mid-semester break,” he said.
The students went on a protest on Sunday after they alleged that the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) killed one of their colleagues.
The students’ protest continued Monday morning.
The JTF accused the student of being an informant and killed him on Sunday.
