Students are required to return to the University campus by the weekend preceding the resumption date to adequately prepare for lectures.

The administration has directed all faculty members to resume their teaching responsibilities promptly and to provide any necessary support to students.

The university is dedicated to maintaining an optimal learning environment and will ensure that all necessary resources are available to support students in their academic endeavors. Students are encouraged to utilize the support services offered, including academic advising, counseling, and other essential student services.

The University of Abuja is poised to welcome its students back, with a renewed focus on academic excellence and student support. The administration’s proactive measures aim to ensure that the disruption caused by the strike does not hinder the academic progress of its students.
