What University of Abuja VC said Monday about govt relocation of herdsmen to his campus

Must read

University of Abuja Vice Chancellor, Professor Michael Adikwu, words on Monday on relocation of herdsmen to the university campus:”As far as herdsmen are concerned, it is a very difficult thing. What we have done is to write to the security agencies to come and help us. We went to the Gwagwalada Local Government Area and we were told that the herdsmen were brought here because they had communal clashes with natives in other areas.
“I have mentioned this issue to the FCT minister and we have a committee working on it. The minister has also said there is a place called Pai where they will eventually take  the herdsmen to. He said there were four grazing sites where the herdsmen would be taken to.
“So, we are hopeful about the relocation. I also mentioned this issue to the present governing council to stimulate the government so that the herdsmen can be removed from our campus.
“I personally will call the head of the herdsmen and talk to them. Even if they want to use our campus, they should move far away from the students’ areas.”
