“The Niger State Government in her desire to enforce the guidelines and maintain the standard for the establishment of  Tertiary education in the state has decided to revoke the earlier provisional approval.

“However, each institution is required to reapply individually for their registrations and approval and such institution will be provided with a revised set of prerequisite conditions which they are expected to comply with”, the letter reads.
