Beef Up Security Around UNIJOS, Other Flashpoints -NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Plateau State Council, has urged the Federal government and the state governments to beef up security around University of Jos and other flashpoints in the state.
The NLC made the call in a statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Comrade Eugene Manji and the Acting Secretary, Com. Badung Dalyop, and made available to newsmen yesterday in Jos.
It stated that many students and staff of the institution had come under series of attack with many reportedly killed.
The NLC noted with grave concern the constant targeting and attack of students and staff of  the university by miscreants whenever there is breach of public peace in some parts of the state.
He said “The sad and unwarranted situation has  led to the abrupt suspension of second semester examinations  and all academic programmes indefinitely by the University’s  management to save lives.
“NLC also condemns in strong terms the recent attack of seven (7) staff of Plateau Radio Television Corporation (PRTVC) in Dadin Kowa area, one of the flashpoints after closing from duty.
“NLC, however, calls on the Federal and Plateau governments to as a matter of urgency, bring to an end the series of killings within the various communities in Plateau State.
