Due to the second wave of COVID-19 NUC orders universities to stop academic activities

 

In a circular signed the Deputy Executive Secretary (Administration) Chris Maiyaki, the National Universities Commission (NUC) ordered Vice-Chancellors of universities to stop academic activities amid increasing COVID-19 cases.

Maiyaki directed the universities to remain closed and await further instructions, and that Classrooms, hostel accommodation, conferences and seminars are to be put on hold.

According to him, “Vice-Chancellors are to please note that the directive is part of the measures approved by Mr. President to mitigate the second wave of Coronavirus infections in the country.

“The affected officers are expected to perform their duties from home while those on GL 13 and above should strictly adhere to the extant preventive measures”, he said.
