In a press release signed by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sunday Paul Bako, the university expressed deep concern over the incidents, which it said did not reflect the institution’s values and standards.

Following an emergency meeting held on Monday, October 13, 2025, the university management suspended the Students’ Union Government (SUG) with immediate effect, citing lapses in coordination and supervision of student activities.

The university also announced that individuals found to have participated in actions that misrepresented its core values would face disciplinary procedures in line with established regulations.

Professor Bako reaffirmed the university’s commitment to upholding the integrity of Taraba State University and ensuring that students are trained in both character and learning.
