The National Universities Commission and other tertiary institutions regulatory organisations do not have the authority to close schools so that students enrolled in universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education can turned out to vote in the upcoming elections, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Tuesday.
In response to requests from individuals and organisations, including the House of Representatives, that the country’s higher educational institutions be closed during elections so that students who registered close to their homes can returned home to vote, Prof. Gbolahan Bolarin, a member of the National Executive Council of ASUU and chairperson of the union at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, made the following statement.

He stated: “The NUC is just a regulatory body. It doesn’t have the power to order the closure of any university. The only authority that can order this closure apart from the Senate of each institution is the Federal Ministry of Education and the order will be given on behalf of the visitor to all the universities, which is the President.
“By the time the ministry gives the order, the NUC will comply and the directives will be passed down. The House of Representatives should talk to the President about this. The NUC is powerless on this matter.”
Recall that the House of Representatives approved a resolution on Thursday requesting the NUC to close colleges so that students may participate in the upcoming elections.
