Ahmadu Bello University is set to grant amnesty to students who have stayed passed their programme duration due to one reason or another.
The news of this pardon came through a circular signed by the Registrar after a meeting by the Senate held on the 29th of May 2025.
They resolved in the meeting to allow students whose residencies expired during the 2021/2022 and 2023/2024 academic session with outstanding courses register for them. They ought to do so during the second semester of 2024/2025 academic session and first semester of 2025/2026 academic session.
Ahmadu Bello University is doing this to enable these students complete their programme and not be a hindrance to them. This a gracious consideration by the management and should be well applauded.

Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) is a federal government research university located in Zaria, Kaduna State. The university operates three main campuses: Samaru and Kongo in Zaria, and School of Basic Studies in Funtua.
