The Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) has announced an indefinite closure of its main campus, directing all students to vacate the institution by Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
The decision follows the ongoing nationwide strike by the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) and Kenya University Staff Union (KUSU), which has paralyzed learning across several public universities.
In an official statement, the university management cited the inability to continue normal academic operations as the main reason for the shutdown.
However, the closure does not affect certain categories of learners, including:
- Medical students on clinical rotations
- TVET Institute students
- Those at Mombasa and Nakuru campuses
- School of Open, Distance and eLearning (SODeL) students
- Postgraduate researchers
Students have been advised to vacate the hostels and await further communication from the university administration.
