Prof Buratai Steps In as NAUB’s New VC, Succeeds Kyari Mohammed In a significant leadership transition at one of Nigeria’s foremost military-civilian academic institutions, Professor Lawan Bala Buratai has been appointed as the new Vice Chancellor of the Nigerian Army University Biu (NAUB). The appointment was announced following an intensive and merit-based selection process conducted by the Governing Council of NAUB at the Armed Forces Officers Mess and Suites, Asokoro, Abuja. The Council, under the chairmanship of Dr. Awwal Moriki, concluded its deliberations and formally presented the letter of appointment to Prof Buratai in a brief but momentous ceremony. Dr. Moriki, while congratulating the new helmsman, described the selection as the culmination of a transparent and rigorous process aimed at identifying a visionary academic leader who embodies the university’s core values of excellence, discipline, and innovation. With this appointment, Prof Buratai succeeds Professor Kyari Mohammed, whose single five-year tenure is widely credited with laying a strong foundation for the university’s academic and structural growth. The Nigerian Army University Biu (NAUB) was established in 2018 as a unique public institution owned by the Nigerian Army and designed to serve both military personnel and civilians. Located in Biu, Borno State, the university was conceived as a strategic response to the security and developmental challenges facing Nigeria and the wider Sahel region. NAUB is focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, defense studies, and technology-driven research. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in diverse fields ranging from engineering and environmental sciences to social sciences, computing, and military history. What sets NAUB apart is its civil-military partnership model, which aims to foster mutual understanding and collaboration between Nigeria’s armed forces and the general populace. The university plays a key role in developing indigenous solutions to security challenges while also contributing to national capacity building and economic resilience through education. With increasing national and international recognition, NAUB continues to attract scholars and partnerships across Africa and beyond, committed to transforming it into a world-class institution in security and development research. Professor Lawan Buratai, a respected scholar and administrator, is expected to lead the university into its next chapter—deepening academic standards, expanding infrastructure, and strengthening NAUB’s role in national transformation. His appointment signals a continuity of vision with a renewed focus on excellence, innovation, and service to the nation.

Imagine region claiming to be ravaging by Boko Haram crisis having more development than the south, something the created to annex funding from federal budget. They know what they are doing. Useless people. Boko Haram was established to reciprocate Niger delta amnesty program of Former president yar'adua may his soul rest in peace which never go down well with the North, they endup killing him and establish Boko Haram to destabilize the country. More of federal budget goes to these regions ravaging by Boko Haram that's the game |

kayswag100:The most effective & hardworking COAS Nigeria ever had. The Snake Charmer. 100 Pushups in 3 minutes. Decimator of Boko Haram. Obliterator of El-Zakzaky and his hordes of Shia nuisances. Killer of iPob Animals (Their Albino Leader Japa like Usain Bolt but his dog “jack” was unlucky). Asari Dokubo shouldn’t have rescued the bastard seeing how ungrateful his brain-dead followers have become. Honestly, I really like this guy! ![]() |

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:You are correct, I said something similar to this when I read about herdsmen and BH stuff. States/politicians are the real sponsors of such wickedness, that's why the police and army can't do anything about it except they just want to transfer their staff there for punishment. They know what they are doing. |
