Following the lingering strike action by ASUU chapter of the Taraba State University, Jalingo, the authority of the university has shut down the institution.
This is revealed in a memorandum issued by the school management instructing that all students activities have been suspended and also asking the students to vacate their hostels before 9:00AM on Friday 26th April 2019 .
The students, as reliably gathered are complying with the instruction as they were seen carrying their luggages and vacating the hostels.
Some of the students also described the order as unfortunate, unfair and unexpected as it will affect their academic calendar badly.
They said the nationwide strike action by ASUU was more than a nightmare, the current internal strike action by ASUU Taraba state university chapter is a drawback and now the order to vacate their hostels is demeaning and should be resolved with immediate effect to avoid prolonged strike action.
The students, however appealed to the authorities concerned to do the needful in order for them to resume school activities, just as they pointed out that their future in the school is at stake.
