The Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Ibrahim Manu Yusufu has assured the University of Maiduguri of security support in order to keep academic activities going at the institution.
General Ibrahim gave this assurance today, when he paid a courtesy call on the Vice Chancellor, University of Maiduguri, Professor Ibrahim Yusuf Abubarka Njodi at his office in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The GOC who was accompanied on the visit by commanders and some principal staff officers from the headquarters 7 division assured the VC of adequate security for the university community.
He sympathized with the university on the recent suicide bomb attacks.
He also commended the staff and the VC for holding forth during the trial period.
The GOC also commended the VC for not closing the University as doing that will have scored a cheap point to the perpetrators of the act while calling the university community to provide security agencies with relevant information that will support them in stemming the tide of suicide bomb attacks.
The Vice Chancellor in his response assured the GOC of the university’s support in the ongoing war against insurgency.
He attributed the recent relative peace enjoyed within the university after the recent attacks to the Nigerian Army’s doggedness and professional display in securing the university, Maiduguri metropolis in particular and Borno State in general.
