The Acting Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja (UniAbuja), Prof. Aisha Maikudi, has reassured the university community following rumours of a possible kidnapping on campus.
In a message shared via the university’s official Facebook page on Friday, Maikudi urged students and staff to stay calm and continue their daily routines, emphasizing that the institution’s management is fully in control of the security situation.
Her statement reads: “It has come to my attention that there are rumours circulating on social media concerning insecurity issues around the campus. Though baseless, we take all security issues very seriously.”
She further encouraged vigilance while reminding everyone that their safety is a priority. “In light of this, I encourage everyone to remain calm and go about their daily activities as usual. However, I ask that we all continue to be vigilant and security conscious, as has become the norm for us all. Your safety is our priority, and it is important that we remain alert but not alarmed.”
Maikudi also noted the presence of security personnel on campus as part of routine measures to enhance security.
“Additionally, you may observe security personnel and vehicles on campus in the coming days. Please note that this is part of a routine security procedure aimed at strengthening our overall security architecture. These movements are conducted periodically, not only with the military but also with other security agencies, to ensure the continued safety and well-being of everyone within the University.”
She thanked the community for their cooperation in maintaining a safe and secure learning environment.
