The Federal Ministry of Education has sent a circular to all vice-chancellors of Nigerian universities requesting that they ensure the safety of their individual campuses’ employees, students, and public infrastructures ahead of the planned nationwide protest on August 1, 2024.

The National Universities Commission (NUC), published circular was signed by Dr Drhris Maiyaki, the Acting Executive secretary, and accepted the freedom to demonstrate. However, the circular also raised concerns about the possibility of violence.

The circular titled: “Urgent Arrangements for the Security and Safety of University Staff, Students and Property During the Proposed Nationwide Protests”, emanated from the directive of the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman

“The Minister of Education has directed that the attention of Vice-Chancellors of all Nigerian Universities be formally drawn to the plan by unknown groups to embark on nationwide protests.

“The Federal Government is not unaware of the right of any Nigerian to peaceful protest, but is concerned about the safety of staff, students and university property should there be any protest action.

“Consequently, the Honourable Minister has directed that Vice-Chancellors of all Nigerian Universities should take proactive steps to ensure the security and safety of the university community, including staff and students.

“In addition, Vice-Chancellors are to please issue specific statements to assure staff and students of their safety.

“It is also advisable that students remain on campus to focus on their academic pursuits so as to avoid exposure to any potential danger during the planned protests. Please accept the renewed assurances of my highest considerations and best wishes”.
