The Vice-Chancellor, University of Maiduguri, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi is a good ex-

ample of a silent achiever. He is accommodating but principled and firm, a veritable team play-

er, visionary team leader and an architect of modern Unimaid. This time around, his telescope

focuses on the Unimaid Bulletin, which is a true testimony of this acclamation. He envisaged to en-

hance the impact of the Bulletin on the University community and make it an informative window

to the outside world. It is against this background that he reconstituted the Editorial Board of the

Bulletin and facilitated a renewed vigour to ensure that the goals and objectives of the instru-

ment establishing the Bulletin are achievable. In pursuance to this objectives, the Bulletin will

henceforth be a monthly publication and accessible on the University official website

(www.unimaid.edu.ng).

On a sad note, the University lost its illustrious staff and students in the last few weeks. The Uni-

versity community are thus united in grief, and urged to accept death as a reality of life. Accept-

ing the existence of death will make us be prepared to handle grief and bereavement that

comes along with death. Death is more universal than life itself, because everyone dies, but not

everyone lives. Death is a debt that all of us here and those yet unborn must pay, at the ap-

pointed time. When we were born, we cried and the world rejoiced. We should endeavor to live

a life in a manner so that when we die the world cries and we rejoice. May their souls rest in

peace, and may God in his infinite mercy and grace, grant the University community and the

families of the deceased, the solace and fortitude to bear the loss; and prayed for quick recov-

ery of the injured among the victims of the tragic motor accident.

T he Executive Governor of Borno State Hon. Kashim Shettima has ob-served that despite the insurgency

that bedeviled the State and the meagre resources at his disposal the administration has been able to build over forty model schools equipped with digi-tal information and communication equipment across the state as well as a state university. The Governor disclosed this when the Vice-Chancellor, University of Maiduguri Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi in company of top management Staff of the Institution paid traditional Sallah homage to the Governor at the Government House Maiduguri on Wednesday

22nd August 2018.

Governor Shettima stated that the Borno State Government intends to recruit over a thousand teachers to teach in these newly built schools be-cause, according to him, most of the existing teach-ers are incompetent and lack the skills to fit into the modern ways of teaching. He stressed that the gov-ernment will have to solicit for the cooperation and understanding of members of the University commu-nity in the form of volunteer teachers adding that he too will take time off to participate in the teaching

being himself, a one- time teacher.

He further pointed out that the World Health Organi-

zation and the European Union records revealed that

the insurgency in the State has left over fifty-four

thousand (54,000) widows and fifty two thousand

(52,000) orphans who the government now has to

fend for.

He laments that the seven-year period of his

administration has been characterized by wanton kill-

ings and destruction of schools, houses and public

buildings which he said gives credence to the WHO

and EU records. The Governor then commended the

Vice-Chancellor for being focused and steadfast by

not closing the University for a single day throughout

the period of insurgency in the state. Such leadership

style he said, is what should be emulated by those

entrusted with leadership positions and urged him to

maintain the tempo. In his remarks earlier, the Vice-

Chancellor informed the Governor that he has been

the driving force and motivator in the achievements he

recorded in the University adding that the transforma-

tional changes witnessed in the State spurs him to feel

challenged and do the same for the University so that

it does not lack behind academically and in terms of

infrastructure. Professor Njodi further stated that

Governor Shettima and members of his administration

have been very supportive to the yearnings and aspi-

rations of members of the university community espe-

cially in ensuring that the University remained open

throughout the period of insurgency. This, he said, the

Governor did by providing adequate security person-

nel and gadgets, funds and other facilities that really

made members of the University community comforta-

ble and safe enough to continue with their daily aca-

demic activities and programmes.

He then thanked and assured the Governor of the University’s unflinching support to his admin-istration and the Volunteer Teacher Programme stressing that members of the University community will key-in to the programme with a view to making it succeed. The Governor, Professor Njodi further said, has from all intents and purposes shown that education is dear to his heart and assured him of

In a related development, a Maiduguri based inter-

national business mogul, Alhaji (Dr.) Muhammadu In-

dimi has expressed his appreciation to the Vice-

Chancellor, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi and

members of his management team for paying him

Sallah homage and accepting to work with him for

the good of the institution. He added that the Univer-

sity of Maiduguri is now his second home. The Vice-

Chancellor had earlier informed him of the purpose

of the visit, “to pay homage and to thank him for the

planned building of a Centre for Distance Learning

and an international conference centre for the Uni-

versity”. The Management he said is highly apprecia-

tive of this gesture stressing that already the would-

be contractors from Germany and some of his inter-

national associates from Switzerland and Harvard

University have visited the University of Maiduguri

and shown the site for the project and also had a

guided facility tour round the University. He therefore

on behalf of University management thanked him for

this magnanimous gesture and wished him good

health, strength and wisdom and also the courage to

continue with his good philanthropic works to humani-

ty. Meanwhile, an elder statesman and educationist,

Professor Emeritus Umaru Shehu has expressed ap-

preciation to the Management team of the University

of Maiduguri for finding time to pay him the tradi-

tional Sallah homage in his residence.

Such visits, the elder statesman said, always

strengthens the bond of relationship between the

University and members of the larger community

which he observed is a healthy development which

should be sustained. Professor Emeritus Umaru

Shehu, then noted that this singular gesture makes

the immediate community and other stakeholders in

the education sector to always identify with the

University in times of trials and tribulations and

called on the Management not to abandon the tra-

dition. The Vice-Chancellor, had earlier congratu-

lated the elder statesman for the Honorary Award

to be bestowed on him by the University of Ibadan

during the 70th Anniversary of its establishment

coming up in November 2018. The University of

Maiduguri community, the Vice-Chancellor said, will

be there to support and share the joy of the award

of one of its own at the occasion and wished him

good health, long life and prosperity in the coming

years ahead.

The delegation was also at the Palace of His Royal

Highness the Shehu of Borno Alhaji (Dr) Abubakar

Ibn Umar Garbai Al-Amin El-Kanemi to pay him the

traditional Sallah homage. The Shehu then offered

prayers for the continued sustenance of peace in

the University, State and the country in general. He

commended the delegation for finding time to visit

him in his palace and wished the delegation a hap-

py Sallah celebrations.

company of Top Management Staff of the institution

paid him a thank you visit at his National Assembly

office on Tuesday 4th September 2018.

Hon Aminu stated that the University’s judicious use of

resources it draws from TETFund is worth emulating

by other higher institutions in the country stressing that

what his committee did in appropriating Funds for the

construction of a Senate Chamber is not anything new

and the visit of the University Management is just a

show of commitment and joy from the institution. He

are yet to reach our destination and that by the

time we reach our destination, then Nigeria will be

a corruption-free-country. When the time comes,

corrupt Nigerians will not be respected in public

places nor be given chances to hold public offices

or positions in Nigeria.” Professional Corruption,

he further stated must be stopped.

FIGHTING CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA: THE JOURNEY SO FAR

N o nation on earth is corruption-free but its

magnitude varies with countries and difficult to

wipe it because corruption is everywhere in

Nigeria.” The above statement forms part of the conclu-

sion of the 73rd Inaugural Lecture Series of the University

of Maiduguri delivered by Professor Aminu Ayuba of

the Department of Business Management on Wednesday

18th July 2018 at the El-Kanemi Hall, University of Mai-

duguri.

In the Inaugural Lecture titled “BUSINESS PER-

SPECTIVE OF FIGHTING CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA: THE

JOURNEY SO FAR,” the Lecturer traced the history of

corruption from the colonial era and dwelt extensively

on the causes of corruption; what constitutes business cor-

ruption; management approach to managing corruption

by anti-craft agencies and combatting of corruption by

governments among others. According to the Inaugural

Lecturer, the kind of corruption in Nigeria is where peo-

ple export stolen money instead of goods, stressing that

any country that has no corruption can attest that it is

difficult to wipe out corruption. He observed that if the

seven principles of management are strictly adhered,

they will help minimize corruption in Nigeria to a mini-

mum level. The principles are; Planning, Organizing,

Staffing, Directing, Coordinating, Budgeting & Control

and reporting feedback. Furthermore, he said that

causes of corruption can easily be determined if statisti-

cal modelling, specification for determining causes, con-

stituents and meditating effects of corruption are imple-

mented as no effort has been made to scientifically de-

termine the exact variables that cause Corruption in Ni-

geria.

Haruna Godowoli, the Vice-Chancellor noted that

the enforcement and actualization of the policy

thrust of the University should remain the preoccupa-

tion of all members of the Registry Department, es-

pecially those in the main stream of the University

administration. The University Management he said,

has continued to evolve its own unique culture, prism,

operational modalities administrative strategies, hu-

man, financial and management style in order to

meet the ever increasing demands of schedules. Pro-

fessor Abdullahi Haruna Godowoli also said that the

University cannot afford to leave the younger ad-

ministrators to float on their own and expect them to

make any meaningful contribution to the develop-

ment of the University and to be part of the policy

Implementation and therefore called on the senior

administrative staff to always train the younger

ones and bring them closer in every facet of the Uni-

versity policy implementation bids.

He then expressed gratitude to Chief Mo-

jisola Ladipo whom he said has remained a pillar

and much sought after expert in university admin-

istration and management, for honouring the Invita-

tion extended to her as the guest speaker for the

workshop and hope that the occasion will be full of

excitement and remain evergreen in her memory.

The Registrar, University of Maiduguri Mallam Tijjani

Bukar who was represented by the Deputy Registrar

Council and General Administration Mrs. S.A Bwala,

called on the University Administrators to eschew the

issue of idleness, bye passing of regulations, creat-

ing short cuts and bastardizing procedures in the

system of the University.

She added that in every beginning there is a pro-

cess that leads to the end and there are processes,

procedures, guidelines and regulations which are

expected to be keenly observed. Failure to observe

any of these laid-down regulations she stressed, will

be an invitation to confusion, indiscipline and crises.

She therefore stressed that, the University of

Maiduguri management has now taken new dimen-

sions which has now made it obligatory for those

who are at the helm of managing the University to

brace up in order to ensure that the present crop of

administrators are trained and retained with a view

to measuring up to the realities of modern University

management so as to make the University the Centre

of Excellence. Mrs. Bwala then urged all the partici-

pants present at the workshop to be truthful to them-

selves by taking the right path and paying attention

to the presenters during the workshop as well as ac-

tively participating in all the activities.

administrator is to provide services that will enable

The prevention of non-communicable diseases in

adulthood and middle age is a necessary prep-

aration for healthy aging. To live long, man

must stay physically active. The above state-

ment forms part of the conclusion of a lecture

delivered at the 74th Inaugural Lecture of the

University of Maiduguri by Professor Adetoyeje

Yoonus Oyeyemi of the Department of Medical

Rehabilitation (Physiotherapy) Faculty of Allied

Health Sciences of the College of Medical Sci-

ences on Wednesday 19th September 2018 at

the El-Kanemi Hall.

In the lecture titled “REALITIES AND PROSPECTS

OF LIVING LONG: HOW CAN WE DRINK

FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF ETERNAL YOUTH”,

which is the first inaugural lecture on aging…..

and eldercare by any Nigerian and African

from the perspective of physiotherapy, he

gave an in-depth analysis and definition of

who a physiotherapist is and what he always

strives for which include: what is known

about, why and how we age and what de-

termines aging and longevity; presented cur-

rent approaches mitigating aging and man-

aging the concomitant disease and problems

that comes with aging; offered a glimpse of

what the future holds for man in tackling ag-

ing and concomitant diseases; presented a

modest contribution on aging and eldercare

According to the lecturer, physiotherapists

provide care to patients and clients with re-

mediatory impairments; restoring functions,

preventing injuries and complications follow-

ing irremediable impairment and maintaining

optimal level of functions and optimum health

related quality of life.

Professor Adetoyeje pointed out that physi-

cal activity is beneficial and its health bene-

fits are known but adherence to physical ac-

tivity and exercise is still low. He added that

the problem of adherence is multifactorial

and to address it requires a global, cross-

disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach.

The lecture therefore stressed that a potent

anti-aging measure is to stay physically ac-

tive. However, he observed that more and

more Nigerians are not physically active and

the elderly population may be much less

physically active when compared to the gen-

eral population. He then recommended that

employers (government and private alike)

consider workplace configurations that allow

workers to work in a standing position so as

to reduce the sitting time during work hours;

establishment of geriatric ward in all the six

tertiary health institutions and centres be ex-

pedited; exercise and physical activity ex-

perts including physiotherapist should as a

matter of routine screen and asses all their

patients and clients ….

especially seniors for their physical activity lev-

el as a matter of routine for a comprehensive

health check and assessment and make age

appropriate recommendations on physical ac-

tivity; aggressive and sustainable national

community campaigns for individuals to take

responsibility for their health and living long

and to emphasize physical activity as medi-

cines for healthy longevity with campaigns

through traditional institutions and religious

centres. Others include: government at various

levels should make conscious efforts to rebuild

the environment by constructing or mandating

the construction of sidewalks, bicycle lanes and

installing street lights on our roads and streets;

establishing neighbourhood gardens and com-

munity and public parks, preventing environ-

mental hazards through effective pollution and

emission control policy implementation; and

government institution of healthcare pro-

grammes that will be free or at a low cost for

the elderly. Enrolling seniors in National Health

Insurance Scheme as a welfare measure should

be considered by the three tiers of govern-

ments.
