Following the recurrenct fire outbreaks in the hostels of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), the institution has placed a ban on students cooking inside school hostels

Siggy reports that about three fire incidents were recorded in the past weeks in the hostels which resulted to injuries and destruction of property.

The management of the school said the fire outbreaks were caused by cooking stoves.

A circular signed by the Dean of Students, Prof. A.M. Gimba titled: “Warning Notice on Cooking in Bedrooms,” said that defaulting students would be expelled from the hostel.

“Recently the university has witnessed fire outbreaks in students halls of residence, specifically girls hostel.

“This is attributed to cooking in the rooms in contravention of the rules and regulations of hostel residence,” he said.

Gimba said that the measure was to protect lives and properties of the students, adding that the management of the university had directed hall officers to ensure prevention of such occurrences by expelling from hostel any student found to be cooking in the room.

“Any attempt by a student or group of students to assault or disrupt any member of staff from discharging his/her official responsibility amounts to gross misconduct that will result in expulsion from the University,”

I support this

The way and manner students are careless when they're cooking with gas is heartbreaking.

A good step in the right direction.An honest and sincere way to put an end to these fire outbreaks. Honestly it saddens my heart when I read or see things like this. It's well God will help us.

Good.

God help them.
