The Benue State University (BSU) has been renamed Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University

Benue State University, BSU, Makurdi, has been officially renamed to Reverend Father Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi, MOAUM.

This decision follows the passage of a law by the Benue State House of Assembly, which was signed into law by the Governor of Benue State, Reverend Father Hyacinth Iormem Alia, on December 30, 2024.


Very Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu (12 June 1945 – 20 November 2005) was a distinguished Nigerian Catholic priest, educator, and politician, renowned for being the first Catholic priest elected as a state governor in Nigeria.

Adasu ventured into politics and was elected as the second Executive Governor of Benue State on 2 January 1992 under the Social Democratic Party (SDP). His tenure was marked by significant contributions, including the founding of Benue State University on 27 December 1991, reactivating and upgrading the College of Education in Oju, and initiating the Tarka Foundation in honor of Senator Joseph Sarwuan Tarka. He also started projects like BENCO roof tile and the Katsina-Ala fruit juice company

The name sounds somehow but I am still okay with it considering the positive contribution of Moses Adasu for the short period he was governor, I hope another governor will not wake up tomorrow and rename any of our state tertiary institution after Akume or Ortom

How is the abbreviation going to look like? RFMOAU? The students would rather stick to BSU

The name too long

FAMOA UNI

All these renaming or naming places after people's name seems to be on the rise.
That shouldn't be the way to immortalise anyone

Names of communities, villages should be promoted first.

Madness, renaming existing schools known by people is crazy. If you want to name a monument or something after someone, why not start a projects and do it. This is misplaced priority. The insecurity going on in Benue state deserve more attention than this mumu renaming. Even a reverend father can't get it right. The black race, I just tire for nna

[color=royalblue]Is this the major problem of the school?

Benue State University sounds better than Rev. Fr. Moses whatever.

When you have a stupid governor who knows nothing about governance.

Pronouncing the names alone is a 4 Year's course to study

What is the sense in renaming a Universities, just in the name of politics or for your father's remembrance. I think all these need to stop🛑, how many abroad Universities do we heard they renamed of recent. It cause confusion to the school

Reverend Father Moses Adasu University (RFMAU) should be okay. Why put Orshio to it. Must all his village names be there?

These are the usel.ess things Benue State focuses on

They should be bringing military experts to defend themselves.

David Mark is a shame.less man.

Misplaced priority at its peak

Brand value is nothing without the name. After more than 30 years of existence a brand value has been created with the name BSU (Benue State University). Why change the name?

What should have been done?
Name the the Senate building or any other relevant structure after him.

Focusing on improved academic curriculum, staff welfare and learning environment should be the priority.

Herdsmen dey kill Benue people in their numbers, but na to rename school dey hungry this governor

Rubbish!!!!!

Why the name come long like this

You"re totally correct, absolutely a misplaced priority!!!

Another governor will change it. Go and ask late Abubakar Audu of Kogi State

From bsu to romofvfk whatever, what is the use of the renaming now.

Good. Unilag would have been MAUA.
