The Federal Ministry of Education confirms that federal unity colleges across Nigeria will resume academic activities on Monday, 14 September 2026. The announcement is made in a statement issued on Friday, 11 September 2026, with the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo, named as the spokesperson.
Education Minister Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa says the arrangements prioritize “safety of students, staff,” signaling that the resumption is tied to continuing attention to student welfare and school operations. Both outlets report the same resumption date and that the decision comes from the Ministry of Education, describing it as a scheduled return to classes rather than an unscheduled change.
While one outlet emphasizes the focus on safety and student/staff protection, the other centers on the direct confirmation of the resumption. Neither source provides additional details on the specific safety measures or any changes to academic calendars beyond the stated restart date.
