Kebbi university orders immediate shutdown
Story by Okafor Vivian
The management of Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero, has announced the immediate closure of the institution, directing all staff and students to vacate the campus without delay.
According to an internal memo issued by the Office of the Registrar and Secretary to Council, the shutdown takes effect at once and applies to all categories of students, including postgraduate, undergraduate, diploma, remedial, and IJMB programmes.
The notice, signed by Registrar Maimaro Tilli, instructed students to leave the university premises within one hour of the announcement. It added that the institution’s Security Division has been authorised to evacuate any student found within hostels or other restricted areas after the deadline.

Students living off campus, particularly in areas such as Gidan Rami, were also advised to leave their residences to avoid what the memo described as possible “embarrassment” from security personnel.
While the university did not provide an official reason for the sudden closure, insiders suggested that the decision may be linked to rising security concerns currently affecting educational institutions across the northern region.
The shutdown will remain in effect until further notice.
