NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES TO SUSPEND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES WITH RESPECT TO ELECTIONS

 


National Assembly Asks Nigerian Universities Commission To Suspend Academic Activities To Allow Students Vote In upcoming Election


The resolution followed the consideration of a motion sponsored by Hon. Kabir Ibrahim at the plenary Thursday.

Presenting the motion, Ibrahim posited that the students constituted 40 percent of the newly registered votes in the states outside the location of their university.

He argued it was their constitutional rights to vote during elections and therefore should be allowed to vote.

The motion was eventually adopted by the House which secured the support of the majority.
