The House of Representatives has urged the National University Commission to give university students break in order to participate in the 2023 general elections.
The House reached this resolution following a motion moved by Ibrahim Kabir on Thursday during plenary.
Moving the motion, Kabir said the House must prevail on the commission to shut down academic activities.
Kabir noted that students constitute a large percentage of the total voters; according to him, they are about 40% of the new registered voters.
When the motion was put to vote by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, the “ayes” had it.
