President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday warned those behind the
agitation for the division of Nigeria through the Movement for Actualization of
Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) to steer clear, saying the corporate
existence of Nigeria as a single entity is not a subject of debate and would
not be compromised.
President Buhari gave the
warning in Zaria at the investiture of the Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Alfred
Ugochukwu Achebe, as the 7th Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, ABU,
Zaria.
The President who was
represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof Anthony Onwuka, said
the menace of insurgency and actions
of some people agitating for dismemberment of the country would be surmounted.
His words: “The country
is currently facing challenges of insurgency and other forms of insecurity that
have become a threat to Nigerians to live in their country and be educated in
their country.
“The security situation
in the country entails that every Nigerian must discharge his responsibility in
bringing about peaceful coexistence. The menace of insurgency and actions of
some people agitating for dismemberment of this country will be surmounted. “I therefore sound a note
of serious warning that the corporate existence of Nigeria as a single entity
is not a subject of debate and will not be compromised.
“This administration will
put in place sustainable programme which will put our education system back on
sound track. “The university should on
their own part key in to the wave of change across the country. As pacesetters,
the universities must avoid any corrupt practices.”
