FACTUAL NIAJA NEWS had earlier reported that a circular was
addressed to all vice-chancellors; pro-chancellors and chairmen of governing
councils of federal universities ordering them to re-open universities.
But in another circular, which was also signed by the
Director, Finance and Account of the NUC, Sam Onazi, the commission withdrew
the order.
Though it did not explain why. The letter tagged,
“withdrawal of circular NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/135 dated September 23, 2022” partly
read, “I have been directed to withdraw the NUC Circular Ref:
NUC/ES/138/Vol.64/135, and 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“Consequently, the said circular stands withdrawn.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 please note. Further development and information would be communicated to all relevant stakeholders.
“Please accept the assurances of the Executive Secretary’s warmest regards”
