Following the recent armed robbery at the Niger state government owned Ibrahim Badamasi Babagida, state governor Mohammed Umar Bago has directed the closure of the University (IBBU) Lapai, with immediate effect until further notice.
This decision was made in light of recent security breaches and the unfortunate loss of lives within the university community.
The safety and security of all citizens, including the students, remain a top priority for the government.
The State government is deeply saddened by the recent incidents and measures are being taken to address the situation swiftly.
The Government therefore urges the university community to remain vigilant, calm, and cooperate with the authorities during this closure period.
The State government is working diligently to restore order, ensure the safety of all citizens, and maintain peace within the state.
It also assures the public that every effort is being taken to investigate the security breaches and bring perpetrators to justice, a statement issued by the Secretary of the state government, Abubakar Usman, added.
The government is resolute in its commitment to upholding law and order, as well as protecting the lives and property of all residents in Niger State.
