Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has called on the Federal Government to reconsider its decision to merge Nigerian Army University, Biu (NAUB) with the Nigerian Defense Academy (NDA) given the gap in Western education, which is worsened by the effect of the decade of Boko Haram devastation in Borno and other neighbouring states.
The Federal Government, it will be recalled, adopted the Orosanye Committee report that seeks to merge or scrap several institutions with duplicating functions as a means of cutting costs in governance.
Zulum, in an early morning address to newsmen while distributing palliatives to 100,000 households in Maiduguri, said that Boko Haram insurgents have achieved their objectives if the university is scrapped.
