Vice Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri, Prof. Aliyu Shugaba, said at the weekend that about 70 professors have left the services of the institution as a result of the security challenges occasioned by activities of the Boko Haram insurgents.
He however said despite the security challenges, the management of the institution never considered closing down the institution for one day as doing so would amount to giving credence to the ideology of insurgents. While tasking graduates of the institution to continue to work with security agents to find lasting solution to the insecurity challenges , the Vice Chancellor said many of the Professors who left the institution as a result of the insecurity in Borno state have started returning to the institution.
“But we never closed that institution for one day on account of this insurgency. We have been teaching, we have researching and our student are there. It is not that we have not been having challenges. There have been a lot of infiltration. They wanted to enter the university at various times and we have lost some of our staff, but yet that university continued.
Who will want to live among crazy people?
No, you lost 70 professors to adamugarba 's freedom fighters. Those Profs must have been oppressing Northerners with Education.
Who brought the insurgents?
Sir, you said 70? that is enough to stop lectures in a veritable university because if 70 top teachers of any academic institution should leave or become absent for whatever reasons...then such an institution becomes 'Hollow'
