Three sets of 500 level final year students would spend one year at the Federal University of Technology Minna upon which they would graduate with a certificate from the University of Abuja.
Chairman of the Task Team UniAbujaand Director Quality Assurance of theNUC Professor Chiedu Mafiana announced the decision to transfer the students on Tuesday after a meeting with vice chancellors of the universities involved.

He said those students had the option of changing their course of study within the University of Abuja.
On anticipated protests from the affected students Mafiana said, “It was the senate of the university that approached us with this request and it pre-supposes they (students) already knew where we are going.
If there are persons still spoiling for war it would mean that some of them were not qualified ab initio.”
