The menace of the Boko Haram sect in the North-eastern part of the country has caused an exodus of academics following regular threats to their lives.
The chairman, UNIMAID chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Dani Mamman, who said this in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, called on the Federal Government and the university authorities to put in place adequate security.
No fewer than 70 lecturers have resigned from the University of Maiduguri since the outbreak of Boko Haram insurgency in the North- East, a reporter was told.
Also, while five lecturers have been killed, three were said to have been held by the insurgents during the recent attack on oil workers.
