Prince Abubakar Audu University in Anyigba has banned students from bringing personal vehicles and motorcycles onto campus. The sweeping security measures came after a breach on June 11, 2026.
University management approved the directives at their 401st meeting on June 15. Registrar Siyaka Audu signed the official statement announcing the changes.
Students can no longer bring cars or bikes—including Haojue and TVS motorcycles—to campus until further notice. Tinted vehicles without authorization are also prohibited from entering the institution.
Vehicles with hidden number plates and unregistered cars won't be allowed through. Only the main gate will serve as entry and exit for all vehicles going forward.
Other campus gates will be restricted to foot traffic only. This tightening aims to prevent unauthorized access to the university grounds.
Management ordered the Chief Security Officer to register all commercial motorcycle operators. Union leaders must cooperate in the identification exercise.
A strict 35-kilometre-per-hour speed limit will be enforced throughout campus. Violators face penalties under the new rules.
Solar-powered tricycles will supplement existing shuttle services on designated routes. Staff and students must display ID cards visibly while on campus at all times.
Vehicle owners will receive identification tallies from the security office. Losing a tally costs N5,000 in fines.
Visitors entering the university must now undergo proper identification checks. Security screening is mandatory before campus access is granted.
Security and works teams will locate and seal all illegal entry points. Management wants to prevent further breaches into the institution.
Students caught violating the ban on post-examination celebrations face severe punishment. Exam cancellation is possible for those who breach the directive.
Affected students can only retake cancelled exams in the next academic year. They'll have to pay fresh school fees to do so.
CCTV cameras are being installed across campus with state government support. Other security gadgets are also being set up at strategic locations.
All unauthorized student gatherings remain banned until further notice. The suspension stays in effect across the entire institution.
Staff with approved tinted vehicles must register them with the security chief. Proper documentation protects them from enforcement action.
Crossbody bags are now prohibited on campus with immediate effect. Management said the ban applies to all students and visitors.
An 11-member committee has been set up to investigate the security incident. University officials called for community cooperation with the investigation team.
