Due to the general elections, which will take place on February 25, the Nigerian National Universities Commission (NUC) has ordered that all universities in the nation close from February 22 until March 14.

Concerns about the staff's and students' safety and security during the poll led to the decision.

According to local media, Adamu Adamu, the education minister, gave the order to the NUC, which is a division of the Federal Ministry of Education.

The continuous insecurity issues in the nation have raised doubts about whether the elections on February 25 will be able to go as scheduled.

However, they will take place, according to the chairman of the electoral commission.

The majority of persons who have registered to vote are young people.
