The federal government has withdrawn its order to vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors and governing councils to re-open federal universities in the country.
The Federal Government had through the National Universities Commission, in a circular tagged NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/135 and addressed to all vice-chancellors; pro-chancellors and chairmen of governing councils of federal universities ordered the reopening of universities.
However in another circular tagged NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/136, which was also signed by the Director, Finance and Account of the NUC, Sam Onazi, the commission withdrew the order.
The circular partly read;

“Consequently, the said circular stands withdrawn.
“All pro-chancellors and chairmen of governing councils, as well as vice-chancellors of federal universities are to please note.
” Further development and information would be communicated to all relevant stakeholders.
