The Federal Polytechnic Bauchi (FPTB) has temporarily halted all academic operations in response to a security advisory issued by the Bauchi State Government. The announcement affects every level of schooling in the state, including primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions. As a result, all lectures, assessments, and campus-based activities at FPTB are now on hold until further notice.

The institution urges students, staff, parents, and stakeholders to remain calm and rely strictly on official communication channels for accurate updates as the situation unfolds.

Important Information for Students

Students should take note of the following:

• All lectures and classroom engagements are suspended.
  
• Tests, examinations, and practical sessions are postponed.
  
• A resumption date has not yet been announced.
  
• Updates will be shared only through verified FPTB communication channels.
  

Reason for the Temporary Suspension

The Bauchi State Government recently issued a statewide security notice, directing all educational institutions to shut down temporarily as a safety precaution.
Federal Polytechnic Bauchi is complying with this directive by suspending academic activities immediately.

The decision is aimed at safeguarding the lives of students, staff, and visitors while security agencies manage the situation. During this period, the campus will not host any academic or official gatherings.

When Academic Activities May Resume

A definite resumption date has not been fixed. FPTB will announce a new schedule once the state government and relevant security bodies confirm that it is safe to reopen.

Meanwhile, students and staff are advised to:

• Follow only official announcements published by the institution.
  
• Continue personal study and revision from home.
  
• Stay in touch with class representatives, course advisers, and departmental platforms for any verified updates.
  
• Avoid spreading or acting on unverified information, rumours, or unofficial notices circulating online
