However, all administrative and academic activities will fully resume as soon as things get back to normal.
It advised students living on campus to keep their composure and follow the law because sufficient measures have been taken to guarantee their safety.

Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, expressed his disappointment with the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests’ outcome, claiming that it had reversed years of advancement in the state.
The Emir expressed his dismay over the devastation of the Nigerian Communications Commission digital center, a multibillion-naira establishment meant to train and certify Kano’s youth in computer and internet usage.
Addressing newsmen at the Palace on Friday, the Emir said, “Today is a sad day for the people of Kano due to what has happened in the state. We sympathise with the entire indigent population of Kano.
Agents from the Kano State Police Command began searching homes on Saturday in an effort to find goods taken during the #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria demonstration in Kano.
