Federal Polytechnic Bauchi Suspends Academic Activities Amid Statewide Security Alert
The Federal Polytechnic Bauchi (FPTB) has announced an immediate suspension of all academic activities following a statewide security advisory issued by the Bauchi State Government. The directive affects all primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions across the state as authorities respond to an undisclosed security concern.
The polytechnic urged students, staff, and parents to remain calm as the situation develops, emphasizing that safety remains the top priority.
What Students and Staff Need to Know Right Now
In a notice released by the institution, FPTB confirmed that lectures, tests, examinations, practicals, and all campus-related academic engagements are officially on hold until further notice.
Officials are advising the campus community to rely solely on verified school communication channels for updates. No resumption date has been announced yet, and the polytechnic warns that rumours or unofficial reports should be ignored.
Why Bauchi Schools Were Ordered to Close
The Bauchi State Government recently issued a public alert instructing all educational institutions—public and private—to shut down temporarily due to a security issue under investigation.
In line with this directive, Federal Polytechnic Bauchi promptly complied, halting all academic operations to protect students, staff, and campus visitors. Authorities say the measure is precautionary while security agencies work to ensure the environment is safe.
When Will Classes Resume?
According to the polytechnic, a new resumption date will be announced only after approval from the Bauchi State Government.
In the meantime, students and staff are advised to:
- Monitor official school channels such as the website and verified social media pages.
- Continue personal study at home using available notes and course materials.
- Stay in touch with class representatives or course advisers for credible guidance.
- Avoid spreading or acting on unconfirmed reports about reopening.
The institution reassured the public that further information will be issued as soon as security agencies complete their assessments.
