University of Jos Reschedules Examinations Following Security Breach in Angwan Rukuba

The Management of the University of Jos (UNIJOS) has announced the immediate rescheduling of undergraduate examinations previously slated for Monday and Tuesday. This decision follows a reported security breach in the Angwan Rukuba community of Jos North Local Government Area.

The postponement serves as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and staff residing in and around the affected areas.

In a statement monitored by the university community, the management indicated that the volatile security situation in the neighboring Angwan Rukuba area necessitated a temporary halt to academic activities. The university emphasized that the lives of its stakeholders remain the highest priority during this period of heightened tension.

While a new timetable for the affected papers is expected to be released by the Registrar’s office shortly, students have been advised to:

Stay Informed: Monitor official university communication channels for the new examination dates.

Remain Vigilant: Exercise caution and avoid areas identified as security flashpoints.

Stay Indoors: Students in hostels and off-campus private accommodations are urged to remain within secure premises until further notice.

The attack on the Angwan Rukuba community has sparked concerns across the Plateau State capital, with security agencies reportedly deploying personnel to restore order. The University of Jos, which has historically been sensitive to local security dynamics, is working closely with law enforcement to monitor the situation before resuming full academic operations.

Further updates regarding the resumption of the examination exercise will be communicated through the University’s Directorate of Public Relations.
