The Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na’allah, has announced a new requirement for prospective students seeking admission to the university. According to Prof. Na’allah, all intending students must undergo and present the results of a drug test as part of the admission process.
Mr. Na’allah, who made this known at the 27th Pre-Convocation briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, said the institution is working with NDLEA to help students involved in drug abuse and rehabilitate them.
He said the drug status of students is important in order to help students to be free from drugs.
However, he said the students would not be sent out from school if involved in drug abuse, but rather be rehabilitated in collaboration with the NDLEA.
