This is to formally bring to the notice of the entire university community and all concerned parties that the University Management at its Emergency Meeting held on Friday, September 26, 2025 approved the immediate and indefinite suspension of all activities of the Student Union Government (SUG) on the Nsukka Campus of the University of Nigeria.

This difficult decision has become necessary following recent circulation of media publications and counter-publications concerning the Union’s affairs. These publications contain serious allegations that have the potential to disrupt the peace, order, and harmonious academic environment which the University is dedicated to maintaining.

The bringing of such an action, which takes effect immediately, all SUG-led gatherings, meetings, and activities are prohibited. It is pertinent to note that while the Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive has instantly set up a committee to investigate the crisis and allegations involving the Students’ Union Leadership and the report of the committee is being awaited within the shortest possible time, Management deems it absolutely necessary to suspend the activities of the Students’ Union in the interim, while the outcomes thereof are being awaited.

The Dean of Student Affairs will oversee all essential student welfare matters during this interim period.

The University Administration urges all students to remain calm, law-abiding, and dedicated to their academic pursuits.

Your cooperation and understanding are highly anticipated.

With the assurances of my warm regards.
