The Management of Taraba State University (TSU), Jalingo, has announced the immediate suspension of the Students’ Union Government (SUG) following alleged misconduct during the recently concluded 2025 Students’ Week.
In a statement signed by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sunday Paul Bako, the university expressed concern over what it described as “regrettable events” that marred the week-long celebration, noting that the conduct of some students was inconsistent with the institution’s values and standards.
News media learnt that an emergency management meeting was convened on Monday, October 13, where the incidents were reviewed.
The university attributed the breakdown of order to poor coordination and supervision by the current SUG leadership.
As part of the resolutions reached, the SUG was suspended indefinitely to allow for a comprehensive review and restructuring of student representation.
The university added that a new framework would soon be introduced to promote inclusiveness, accountability, and discipline.
“Individuals found to have acted in ways that misrepresented the university’s core values will face disciplinary action in accordance with existing regulations,” the university said.
“Students whose actions carry criminal implications have already been apprehended and will be handed over to law enforcement for further investigation and possible prosecution.”
The university reaffirmed its commitment to academic and moral excellence, emphasizing its resolve to nurture students in both character and learning.
