As the 2023 general elections approaches, the National Universities Commission NUC has ordered the closure of universities across the country to enable students to participate in the elections.
This was contained in a letter addressed to vice-chancellors of all universities and directors of inter-university centres, where the NUC asked all VCs to shut down their institutions from Wednesday, February 22 to Tuesday, March 14, 2023.
The 2023 General Elections have been scheduled to hold on Saturday 25th February 2023, for the Presidential and National Assembly, and Saturday 1st March 2023 for Gubernatorial and State Assembly, respectively.
