FG won’t shut down UNIMAID despite attacks by Boko Haram – Minister

Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu on Friday said the University of Maiduguri will not be shut despite the recent attacks by Boko Haram insurgents.

The minister said this during a condolence visit to UNIMAID, while commiserating with the school’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ibrahim Njodi, over the killing of workers of the institution by Boko Haram insurgents in an ambush.

Adamu said the government was not willing to truncate academic activities in the institution despite the security situation in the state.

He said, “You demonstrate great courage and resilience to stay here to do your work despite the security challenges.

“We commend you and the government appreciates what you are doing; even to work in Maiduguri requires courage. Before I came here, I had thought of closing down the university, but after listening to the Vice-Chancellor and seeing what you are doing, I felt proud of you.

“The Federal Government will not shut down the university and we will provide you with all the necessary support.”
