 BENUE ASSEMBLY SHORTENS UNIVERSITY NAME TO FATHER ADASU UNIVERSITY


11th September, 2025

The change followed a debate on the report of the House Committee on Higher Education during Thursday’s plenary. Majority Leader Saater Tiseer (APC/Mbagwa) argued that the previous name was too long.


The Assembly also passed bills upgrading the Colleges of Education in Katsina-Ala and Oju into degree-awarding institutions.


Speaker Alfred Emberga directed the Clerk, Dr. Bem Mela, to read the bills for the third time, after which they were passed.


Governor Hyacinth Alia had earlier pushed for the university to bear Adasu’s name in honour of the late former governor who established the institution.
