The management of Taraba State University has ordered the immediate suspension of all student associations, unions, clubs, and societies within the institution, citing rising cases of indiscipline and defiance among some student groups.
In a circular issued on Friday and signed by the Registrar, Dr Joseph U. Bibinu, the university expressed concern that the behaviour of certain associations had undermined peace, order, and academic integrity on campus.
“The University Management hereby orders the immediate suspension of all student associations, unions, clubs, and societies operating within the University. This suspension takes immediate effect and shall remain in force until further notice,” the statement read.
The directive prohibits any student group or individual from holding meetings, organising events, issuing statements, or conducting any activity under the name of a student association, either within or outside the campus.
The university further warned that any breach of the directive would be regarded as gross misconduct and would attract strict disciplinary action in line with existing regulations.
Dr Bibinu added that the institution would soon unveil a new framework for responsible student representation aimed at ensuring discipline, order, and effective engagement between management and the student body.
