According to NTV, the staff said they will not be going back due to insecurity in the region.

The staff however maintain that they will remain put because they fear for their lives.
They called on leaders to intervene and ensure that they do not return to the university.
According to Citizen Digital, Education CS Prof Jacob Kaimenyi has however said the university will not be opened any time soon.
Kaimenyi said that stakeholders from the college are yet to consult on whether to reopen it or not.
He told the parliamentary committee on education it will not be wise to reopen the school right now as those affected are still traumatized after the attack.
