The directive was contained in a circular on Monday, signed by the Acting Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Dr. Chris Maiyaki ahead of the proposed nationwide protest slated for August 1, 2024 over economic hardship in the country.

Maiyaki who acknowledged the right of citizens to peacefully protest also expressed fears about the potential for the protest to snowball into violence.

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

It reads, “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.
