The Nation Newspaper Oronsaye Report: Borno citizens kick against merging Army varsity with NDA
A group, Borno State Concerned Citizens, has kicked against the merging of Nigerian Army University, Biu with Nigerian Defence Academy said they were worried “the merging of these two distinct Institutions will not augur well for the sacred nature of our military training and defence system.”
On Friday, 8th March, 2024, the Committee on the implementation of the recommendations of Oronsaye Report and White Papers on Restructuring and Rationalisation of Federal Government Parastatals, Agencies and Commissions, was inaugurated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, on behalf of the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“We observed that many bills for the establishment of Universities and Institutions of higher learning were passed by the National Assembly and signed into law after the establishment of NAUB. “We humbly appeal to the Committee on the implementation of Oronsaye Report and White Papers on Restructuring and Rationalization of Federal Government Parastatals, Agencies and Commission to reconsider the proposed merger of the Nigerian Defence Academy and the Nigerian Army University, Biu and allow each to play its distinctive role in the overall interest of the nation,” they said.
