Expel students involved in kidnapping, FG orders varsities

The Federal Government has ordered all universities in Nigeria to expel any students found guilty of involvement in kidnapping or other violent crimes, following an investigation. This directive was given by the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, during a meeting with the governing council of the Federal University of Lafia, Nasarawa State.

Alausa emphasized the importance of strengthening security and intelligence networks within tertiary institutions to prevent criminal activities and protect the sanctity of learning environments. The minister also stressed that allowing criminal behavior to persist would foster a culture of lawlessness, and urged all institutions to collaborate closely with security agencies to ensure the safety of students both on and off campus.
