WUDIL, KANO STATE– The management of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUST), Wudil, has actually formally cancelled a prepared academic school outing to New Bussa in Niger State.
The choice follows intense security issues raised by concerned parents and local education stakeholders.
The university clarified that the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Musa Yakasai, vetoed the travel logistics after evaluating active intelligence and threat assessment reports surrounding the transit passages resulting in the initial North-Central location.
The trip was meant for an eight-week necessary field exercise for final-year (Level 400) Fisheries students.
Proactive Cancellation In The Middle Of Parent Panic
In an official statement launched on Thursday, Might 28, 2026, the Deputy Registrar for Details and Public Affairs, Abdullahi Datti Abdullahi, revealed that the university management had long before blocked the journey, long before public stress and anxiety heightened.

The university’s information ended up being needed after a cross-section of moms and dads revealed intense opposition to moving more than 30 undergraduates into Niger State, an area currently grappling with volatile banditry and security challenges.
“When the idea of going to New Bussa in Niger State came up, the Vice Chancellor, who was already familiar with the security circumstances in the area, had long back rejected the journey,” the statement clarified.
To make sure that the academic calendar stays undisrupted without jeopardizing human lives, Professor Yakasai bought the Department of Fisheries to immediately source a localised, greatly secured alternative.
Following the management regulation, the department has actually restructured its useful curriculum to fit the environment of the Tiga Dam, located safely within Kano State boundaries.
The domestic center will now play host to the final-year associate for their hands-on aquaculture and marine biology training.
From the ADUST Wudil School, a thorough danger evaluation was performed. This led to the cancellation of the high-risk journey to New Bussa, Niger State, and the instant approval of the protected option at Tiga Dam, Kano State.
With the domestic alternative protected, the Level 400 trainees are anticipated to move to the Tiga Dam site this week to wrap up their useful degree requirements ahead of their final-semester graduation clearances.
