NAAS National President, Bashar Abdulazeez, stated, “We sympathise with the people of Ilesha Baruba who have suffered from repeated attacks. However, the relocation of students to a region facing such volatility is highly risky and unacceptable. No educational reform should come at the cost of students’ lives.”

Abdulazeez emphasized that the academic welfare and safety of students must remain a priority, calling on the state government to reconsider its decision and involve stakeholders in any discussions about future changes. “Students deserve to learn in an environment free from fear and danger. The Faculty of Agriculture must remain in a secure and academically conducive zone.
