Professor Abdullahi Yusufu Ribadu confirmed that restrictions on establishing new universities continue through their designated period. The National Universities Commission Executive Secretary addressed representatives from the Association of Brotherhood Academic Students during their recent visit. The policy began February 10, 2025, and focuses on reviewing current establishment guidelines while tackling modern educational challenges. This measure affects private institutions specifically and differs from the separate seven-year pause on federal tertiary schools. The federal suspension aims to strengthen existing institutions and enhance their infrastructure.
