Nasarawa State University Establishes High-Powered Committee to Investigate Students' Union Election Crisis

Following the recent students' uprising sparked by the Students' Union Government election held on September 4, 2024, Nasarawa State University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sa'adatu Hassan Liman, has constituted a High-Powered Committee to investigate the crisis.

The committee, with a two-week deadline to submit its report, is tasked with:

1. Investigating the immediate and remote causes of the students' uprising

2. Identifying key players and principal actors in the crisis

3. Assessing the level of damage to university property

4. Determining internal and external involvement and connivance

5. Recommending measures to prevent future occurrences

6. Advising management on related matters

The university management is also inviting staff, students, and concerned citizens to submit memoranda providing crucial information on the crisis and recommendations to prevent future incidents. Memoranda should be submitted to the Registrar's office, Information and Protocol Officer, or the Secretary to the Committee by September 13, 2024.

This move demonstrates the university's commitment to addressing the crisis and ensuring a peaceful academic environment.
