Right now in Makurdi, Students of Benue State University (BSU) are protesting, over the prolonged closure of the school due to the strike by the ASUU chapter of the institution.

Recall that the lecturers in the state had embarked on indefinite strike over the non-payment of earned allowances, absence of a health insurance scheme, pension plan, appointment of principal officers in the university by the government and delay in the payment of staff salaries, payment of death benefits to its members, among other things.

Two months ago, Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, appealed to the Benue State University (BSU) Lectures to call of strike so that they can negotiate.
