It’s no more news that some universities in the country have resumed academic activities while others are to resume on 11th of January and some will also resume on the 18th of January, 2021.
Some students will be wondering why there are changes in resumption date for each university. The reason for the delay or extension in resumption date is mostly due to rate of infection of the deadly coronavirus. Each state has a record of the number of daily infection which also determine the resumption date for schools.
Also, some states in the country are experiencing insurgency, bandits and attacks, therefore the government wants to ensure the security of students before allowing them to resume.
However, there’s are two institutions that will resume late than others. Theses universities have officially announced their resumption date and this means there is no changing of dates.
One of them is the University of Abuja, (UNIABUJA). The university of Abuja is set to resume on the first day of February, 2021 unlike most tertiary institutions in the country that are to resume on or before 18th of January. This was announced by the University’s directorate of academic affairs as endorsed by the Vice chancellor of the institution.
It is seconded by the University of Benin. Academic activities are scheduled to commence at the University of Benin (UNIBEN), on Monday, February 1, 2021. The University’s Senate sat on Monday the 4th of January, 2021 and concluded that students should retire to campus on January 30th, 2021 as lectures will begin on 1st February, 2021.
This therefore implies that students of UNIBEN and UNIABUJA are resuming on the 1st day of February for the first semester of the 2019/2020 academic session which was disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak and academic strike.
