The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has directed vice-chancellors, rectors and provosts across Nigeria to dismiss any student found culpable, after due investigation, of involvement in kidnapping or other related crimes.

He also ordered the heads of tertiary institutions to strengthen internal intelligence systems and deepen collaboration with the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies in their respective states as part of a nationwide strategy to safeguard campuses and protect students.

The directive was given during a meeting with the Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University of Lafia, Nasarawa State, Dr. (Mrs) Adebimpe Adebajo, members of the governing council and management of the institution.
