The management of Bingham University in Nasarawa State has banned students from using smartphones.
This was disclosed in an Internal Memorandum released by the Registrar of the school, Dr Esther Dyaji.
The university located in Karu, 25 kilometres from Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, was established in 2005 by the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) as a conventional institution.
“Following repeated abuse in the use of smartphones in contravention of section 5.14 subsection i, ii and iii of the students handbook, the use of smartphone is hereby prohibited with immediate effect. Violators of this would have their phones confiscated and face appropriate sanction,” the memo read.
