The directive was contained in an internal memo issued by
the Office of the Registrar and Secretary to Council. The notice, signed by
Registrar Maimaro Alhaji Tilli, stated that the closure takes effect
immediately and applies to all categories of students, including postgraduate,
undergraduate, diploma, remedial, and IJMB programmes.

Students were instructed to leave the school premises within
one hour of the announcement, while the institution’s Security Division has
been authorised to evacuate anyone found in the hostels or other restricted
areas thereafter.

The university further advised off-campus students in
surrounding areas, including Gidan Rami, to vacate their residences to avoid
what it described as possible “embarrassment” by security operatives enforcing
the closure.

Although the memo did not disclose the reason for the
decision, sources within the institution linked it to rising security concerns
affecting educational institutions across northern Nigeria.

The university stated that the shutdown will remain in force
until further notice.
