In an official notice issued by the Office of the Director of Sports, the directive affects all campuses—Permsite, Town Campus, and Annex—and takes effect from May 2 to May 23, 2026.

According to the statement signed by the Director of Sports, Comr. Abasifreke Job, the decision was made in solemn respect and mourning of fallen sportsmen from a sister institution.
