Veritas university, in the Bwari region of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has shut down academic activities following the worsening insecurity in Abuja.
The abrupt closure of the Roman catholic-owned university, located in Bwari local government council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, followed security reports indicating that terrorists could attack and abduct students of the school after a foiled attempt at the Nigerian law school, sited some few kilometres apart.
New academic session which was hitherto slated to commence in September 2022, had been put on hold following a security threat to the institution, The Vanguard reports.
The 100-level students examination billed to begin this week, was also suspended indefinitely.
The school said the examination would be “conducted at a date to be announced.”
The public relations officer of Veritas university, Evelyn Obekpa, confirmed this development in a statement on Wednesday, July 27, saying, “The Management of Veritas university wishes to notify the general public that the university has successfully completed the 2021/2022 academic session.
“However, due to the current security tension and the directives of the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for the closure of schools in Abuja, the examinations for our 100 level students shall be conducted at a date to be announced later.
“Candidates seeking admission into Veritas university for the 2022/2023 academic session are encouraged to visit the university or the university’s website – www.veritas.edu.ng to obtain admission form.”
