A private tertiary institution in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Veritas  University, Bwari, Abuja, has shut down academic activities 

Veritas is located some few kilometres from the  Nigerian Law School, in Bwari Local Government Council of the FCT, where officers of the Presidential Guards Brigade  were ambushed  earlier this week, by terrorists.

A statement  by the media and public relations officer of the school, Evelyn Obekpa, said  the examination for first-year students has been postponed due to the directive by the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on the security tension in nation’s capital.

The school said the examination would be “conducted at a date to be announced”.

The statement read: “The Management of Veritas University wishes to notify the general public that the University has successfully completed the 2021/2022 academic session.
