Mayaki revealed that in line with the directive of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, the Univerisity staff from level 12 and below will remain at home for the period of five weeks.
Further calling on University authorities to strictly adhere to all directives outlines by the Nigerian Center For Disease Control (NCDC), Mayaki warned Universities against violating the full cycle of the University system.
