FG withdraws directive to open universities

A circular was earlier sent to all vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors, and chairmen of governing councils of federal universities, ordering them to re-open schools

The Federal Government, through the National Universities Commission, on Monday, withdrew its circular which ordered vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors and governing councils to re-open the varsities.

Recall that there was a circular tagged NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/135 was addressed to all vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors, and chairmen of governing councils of federal varsities, ordering them to re-open the institutions.

However, in another circular tagged NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/136, which was also signed by the NUC Director of Finance and Account, Sam Onazi, the commission withdrew the order without giving reasons.

The letter titled, “Withdrawal of circular NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/135 dated September 23, 2022,” partly read, “I have been directed to withdraw the National Universities Commission Circular Ref: NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/135, dated September 23, 2022, on the above subject.

“Consequently, the said circular stands withdrawn. All pro-chancellors and chairmen of governing councils, as well as vice-chancellors of federal universities, are to take note. 

Further development and information would be communicated to all relevant stakeholders.”
