EBONYI STATE UNIVERSITY HONOURS LT GEN TUKUR YUSUFU BURATAI, NAMES INSTITUTE AFTER HIM

The Ebonyi State University (EBSU) has named its newly established Institute for Peace and Strategic Studies after the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, for his selfless service to the nation and humanity in general.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution and former Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Professor Chigozie Egbu stated this today when he led a team from the university on a courtesy visit to the COAS at the Army Headquarters, Abuja.

He commended the COAS and the NA on the achievements the army has recorded under his leadership in the areas of promotion and maintenance of peace in Nigeria, particularly during the 2019 general elections.

According to him "Ebonyi State university is ready to collaborate with the Army on the trust that a well-educated Army is essential for effective military duties in the 21st Century. We are also delighted that you are interested in the establishment of an Institute for Peace and Strategic Studies at EBSU to offer members of the Armed Forces, Police and paramilitary agencies the opportunity to get higher and relevant education".
He disclosed that the governor of Ebonyi State, Engineer David Eweze Umahi, and the State Executive Council had approved that the Institute be named “LT Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai Institute for Peace and Strategic Studies”.

In his remarks, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, thanked the leadership of the university, Government and people of Ebonyi State for the honour. He dedicated the honour to officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their commitment, sacrifices and resolve to bring an end to the myriad of security challenges facing Nigeria.

He expressed willingness to support the university/Institute to provide quality education and to serve as a centre for academic research on contemporary security challenges, signifying that the Army will sponsor qualified officers and soldiers interested to enroll in its programmes. He further solicits for collaboration between the university and the Nigerian Army Resource Centre which is equally an emerging research centre of repute.

It would be recalled that on the 15th of April 2019, the Igbinedion University Okada had honored the Nigerian Army by naming its Centre for Contemporary Security Affairs after Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai.
Some Principal Staff Officers of the Army Headquarters attended the occasion.

That is very commendable from the state government. .

Awol1:
I'm gonna wait for further clarification to this stupid tweet.

Because of all the things to play politics with in Ebonyi state, why would Umahi choose to do it with EBSU?

Why rename after a northerner?

What direct impact has Buratai's reign as COAS had specially on Ebonyi and it's indigenes?

Have we now run short of state icons to honour with the institution? There is Nwiboko Obodo, there's Walter Ferghbur, there are others.

So because of 2023, Umahi is willing to trade anything for northern support?

This is crass stupidity and foolishness and asslicking in its lowest ebb that must never stand.

What is this?

Awol1:


How many state universities in the entire north is named after an Igbo man?

yarimo:
let them work hard

Awol1:


So Burutai has earned it after his army killed our sons in python dance?

yarimo:
PYTHON dance killed only terrorists, if your son is among those that are killed that means he is a terrorist. May God bless BURATAI the most loved and competent army chief since 1960.

God bless Gov Umahi
Any aggressive "bloda"who is not happy with this development can just go and die

Awol1:


Without firing a single shot, they are terrorists.

But Fulani herdsmen with their AK47 are not.

Table turns... keep that in mind

Good.. Internet never forgets.. I hope he would be alive then rather than leaving his generation to suffer the consequences of his comments and his likes.

Wisfem:


Knowledge and wisdom will never be your friend, you should be weeping by now.

How many state universities in the entire north is named after an Igbo man, living or dead, hero or villain?

So after Burutai sent his boys to maim our sons, Umahi thinks he should be honoured with a monument, rather than preparing his charges for murder of unarmed and defenseless destinies?

What is this?
