The Kaduna State University (KASU) has suspended academic activities for undergraduate students indefinitely.
The registrar of the institution, Registrar, Mr Samuel Manshop, said this in a statement in Kaduna on Tuesday.
The registrar did not give any reasons for the suspension.
Undergraduate students had protested the hike in school fees from between N24,0000 and N36,000 to between N100,000 and N400,000. The students had, in widespread protests, demanded a reversal of the new fees.
According to Manshop, academic activities would continue for postgraduate programmes, college of medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, and part-time programmes.
“The management of KASU wishes to notify staff, students and the public that academic activities for undergraduate students have been suspended indefinitely.
“Postgraduate programmes, college of medicine, faculty of pharmaceutical sciences and part-time programmes are to continue with their activities.
“Staff are also expected to report to work as usual, while management will communicate further developments,” the statement noted.
