The management of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) on Tuesday issued a notice for students to vacate the campus after a flood disaster which led to the collapse of a pedestrian bridge, killing four students.

Students are asked to vacate the school premises immediately.

The notice was indicated in a circular signed by the registrar of the institution, A.G Hassan and pasted around the campus.

“Following the unfortunate incident (a flood disaster) of Monday, August 5, the Senate at an emergency meeting held on Tuesday, August 6 approved a break with effect from Tuesday, August 6 to August 18, 2019.

“All students are, therefore, required to vacate the campuses with immediate effect from today, August 6, 2019. It should be noted that academic activities with effect from Monday, August 19, 2019,” the circular reads in part.

The Vice-Chancellor Professor Abdulazeez Ahmed thereby commiserates with parents, SUG, students and the University community over the sad event and prays that the almighty God will protect the University from any unforeseen circumstances.

The school was thrown into the mourning after an accident on Monday midnight where a pedestrian bridge collapsed at the Gubi Campus.

Four students were killed and eight others injured after the bridge collapsed.

The bridge which links one of the hostels and another building containing lecture rooms collapsed at midnight, following a heavy downpour.

Accept my condolence.

Is that a bridge, or a metal fabrication shop extension?

What kind of country is this. I'm very sure they noticed that the bridge was having issues, there must have been some alarming signs, users of the bridge must have informed the appropriate authorities, but they ignored. Now people have been killed. Nawa

Bridge that ought to have been replaced with concrete one a long time ago. These are parts of the reasons why life expectancy is very low in this country. My condolences to the affected ones.

Smart move by school management. They know that the spirit of revolution is sweeping across the country and they might wake up to a massive aluta revolution tomorrow morning hence they decided to outsmart the students by sending them home immediately. Smart move

Is that thing a bridge?

Innocent students just died as a result of carelessness on the part of some authorities. That bridge must have been showing signs of collapse before now but no one would care to do the needful as they probably do not use it.

I really feel for the families of the bereaved.

wait, you call that a bridge.! only in a sh*thole country.

RIP the dead..now dey can see a reason to build that bridge to standard,..very wicked leaders ..Nigeria don expire

Rip to the dead.

The students actually went on rampage destroying school properties and vehicles, the Vc made an unnecessary comment and students went mad.It's just unfortunate that these young people had to die this way
