This was disclosed on Wednesday 30th September 2020, after the Board of Governing Council meeting, followed by an official statement from the NUC instructing Vice-Chancellors of Universities to reopen their respective institutions due to significant decline in the number of people infected with Covid-19 in the country.
The Vice-Chancellor of Skyline University Nigeria, Professor Sudhakar Kota, has directed all Faculty and Staff to resume duty from 02nd October 2020, while returning students, are expected to return to campus from 8th October 2020. Fresh students who are interested in pursuing a degree in Skyline University Nigeria, are expected to resume their application process beginning from 2nd October 2020.
In his goodwill message, Professor Kota stated that the lockdown allowed the university to look inward and profer certain precautionary measures, as well as leveraging on some pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical protective equipment required to ensure the safety of staff, students, visitors and contractors upon resumption.
He advised all staff and students to strictly adhere to the following guidelines as enshrined by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in all SUN Facilities:
