Benue State University, Makurdi

Hail Great Benue State University
First of its kind, North of the Niger
Hail Great BSU, seated in the Benue trough
Citadel of Academic excellence
Lone pearl in the heart of the savannah
Where knowledge sails beneath the smiling gaze of the African sun

Scientia Liberatio Populorum
We liberate through radiant knowledge
Born in response to a genuine need
To bridge the gap of illiteracy
To foster unity in diversity
Diligence, commitment our watch words
We develop manpower and preserve socio-cultural heritage

So let’s arise
And light up wisdom’s path
God on our side, we'll stand like a giant
Let’s all arise
And take our place
In the haven of cultured men and women
Let’s all arise
And leave behind
Traditions for generations to come

So now arise, Great BSU
Arise and light up wisdom’s path.
