Name Benue University After Founder– SDP Leader To State Govt.

The Benue State Chairman of Social Democratic Party, SDP, John Enemari has appealed to the Benue state government to name the Benue State University, BSU, after the second civilian Governor of the state and founder of the institution, the late Reverend Father Moses Adasu.

The later cleric was elected governor of the state between January 1992 and November 1993 on the platform of the Social Democratic party..

Addressing the media on Tuesday in Makurdi, Enemari urged the state government to honour the memory of the former Governor by naming the state owned university after him.

He said: “I appeal to the state government to emulate what the Federal Government did with the former Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi which has been renamed Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi, JOSTUM, to honour the legendary JS Tarka of blessed memory.”
