The main gate of Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University Makurdi (JOSTUM), formerly known as Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi (FUAM), was blocked today by villagers from the surrounding community. The protesters, who gathered in large numbers, demanded that the university provide them with electricity, insisting that without power, the school should remain closed.
Carrying placards with inscriptions such as "No light, no school," the villagers expressed their frustration over what they claim has been a prolonged power outage in their area. One of the protesters boldly declared, "No light, no school," emphasizing their resolve to continue the blockade until their demands are met.
As of the time of this report, university officials have not released an official statement, and efforts to reach the Vice Chancellor for comment have been unsuccessful. The situation has caused significant disruption, with students and staff unable to access the campus.
