According to students and academic staff, the break has thrown academic calendars off balance and has made it difficult for students to keep up with their coursework. Some students have reported having to work double-time to catch up on missed lectures, while others have expressed concern about the impact on their grades and overall academic performance.

In response to these concerns, some universities have adjusted their academic calendars to accommodate for the lost time. However, this has also caused further disruption, as some students have had to cancel travel plans or make other arrangements to adjust to the new schedules.

The National Universities Commission has defended the decision, stating that it was necessary to ensure the safety of students and staff during the elections. However, many students and academic staff have criticized the move, arguing that it has done more harm than good.

The disruption caused by the three-week election break highlights the need for better planning and coordination between government agencies and educational institutions in Nigeria. As the country moves towards its next elections, stakeholders must find ways to minimize the impact on students and ensure that their academic progress is not impeded.
