In a bold move, Benue State University, Makurdi, has undergone a transformative rebranding, now proudly bearing the name Reverend Father Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi (MOAUM). This seismic shift, cemented by a law passed by the Benue State House of Assembly and signed by Governor His Excellency Reverend Father Hyacinth Iormem Alia on December 30, 2024, marks a new chapter for the institution.
The renaming, a deliberate nod to the vision of the Benue State Government, is more than a mere change of title—it’s a reaffirmation of the university’s unwavering commitment to excellence in tertiary education. Effective immediately, all official correspondence, documents, and communications must reflect the new identity: Reverend Father Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi (MOAUM).
University leadership, including Principal Officers, Deans, Directors, and Heads of Department, are directed to swiftly implement this change across all platforms and operations. The Management Committee’s mandate is clear: embrace the new name, uphold the legacy, and drive the institution forward.
