FME Disowns Fake Circular, Confirms Resumption Date
The Federal Ministry of Education has officially disowned a fabricated circular circulating on social media, which falsely announces an additional three-week holiday for students of Federal Unity Colleges across Nigeria. The Ministry clarified that the circular, dated 8 September 2026 and referenced as “FME/SS/UNI/2026/128,” did not originate from them and should be disregarded.
The approved resumption date for all Federal Unity Colleges is confirmed as Monday, 14 September 2026. The Ministry emphasized that there has been no directive from the Federal Government extending the holiday or changing the resumption date to 4 October 2026.
The fraudulent document incorrectly bears the name and signature of “Dr. (Mrs.) Aisha Garba,” who is not the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry; the Acting Permanent Secretary is Dr. Mrs. Folake Olatunji David. The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa CON, reiterated the commitment to a safe resumption and urged the public to verify information through official channels.
