The Vice Chancellor assured parents and guardians that their children and wards studying at CUSTECH Osara are safe, noting that the University Management remains committed to providing a secure and conducive environment for teaching, learning, and research.

He further stated that security personnel within and around the University community are working round the clock to safeguard lives and property, while continuously collaborating with relevant security agencies to maintain peace and order on campus.

As part of efforts to strengthen campus security, the University has reiterated that no student, staff member, or visitor without proper means of identification will be granted access into the campus.

Speaking on behalf of the students, the President of the Students' Representative Council, Comrade Abdullahi Zulqarnain, commended the University Management for putting adequate security measures in place. He pledged the continued support and cooperation of the SRC in ensuring that CUSTECH remains a safe and peaceful environment for learning and innovation.

Dr. Shehu Shaib; Acting Director of Works and Maintenance, Engr. Rufai Sadiq; and the Acting Chief Security Officer of the University, Mr. Ahmed Ismaila Ozovehe.
