“This is in view of the Sunday night attack by gunmen on residents of Angwan Rukuba and the consequential tensions it has generated in and around the area,” he said.
He called on staff and students to stay alert and limit unnecessary movement. Madugu also urged students to promptly report any security concerns to the university’s security unit.
The decision comes after Sunday’s attack on Angwan Rukuba, which the Plateau State Government confirmed led to casualties and injuries.
In response, the state government has enforced a 48-hour curfew in Jos North Local Government Area in a bid to restore calm.
