Prof. Abubakar Njodi, the Vice Chancellor, University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), says the university will not close in spite Monday’s bomb blast by Boko Haram insurgents that killed a professor and four others. Njodi spoke on Monday in Maiduguri, when Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole of the Nigerian Army paid him a sympathy visit. “I can convince the senate, the management and the university community to close the school to save lives. “But if we do that, we are not helping because we have to give the security our maximum support and our support is not to join them in the battle field. “If we run away, that means there is nobody they should be fighting for. We should stay and resolve it, after all the war is about us, western education.” “If we stay, the terrorists will be frustrated because that is their aim. “What is the point of fighting for us if we run? We should stand our ground so that the military will be proud that the people they are fighting for are on ground.
