FUTMINNA warning: Avoid NEOLIFE group on campus

FUTMINNA Students’ Union warning on NEOLIFE: what students should do

The Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA) Students’ Union has advised all students to stay away from a group known as NEOLIFE, which has been approaching students on and around campus.

The Union stated that joining or taking part in the group’s activities can distract students from their studies and disrupt academic progress. The message is clear: students should stay focused on their academic goals and know their boundaries.

How the group approaches students

According to the Students’ Union, members of NEOLIFE may approach students while dressed in corporate-looking outfits or uniforms. That appearance can make the approach seem normal; students should still be cautious.

The Union also warned that the group may manipulate their words and lie to initiate students into their cult.

What to do if approached

If a student encounters the group or gets approached, the Students’ Union advised that the student should not engage.

The Union urged students to report immediately to any of the following:

• Any Students’ Union Representative
• Lecturers
• The appropriate school authority
• Campus Security

(Quick action helps; silence gives room for repeat approaches.)

A safer option for skills and income learning

For students who want to learn skills, earn income, and grow professionally, the Students’ Union pointed students to the Campus Entrepreneurship Centre.

The Union encouraged students to focus on career-relevant skills connected to their area of study, such as:

• Software-related skills
• Structural design
• Drafting tools
• Other approved vocational or digital skills relevant to the student’s course

The Union stated that these skills can enhance education, improve employability, and prepare students for life after graduation.

Safety and academics first

The Students’ Union stressed that student safety, focus, and success remain top priorities. Students are expected to stay alert, stay Focused, and keep their attention on academics (even when distractions show up dressed as opportunity).
