Nigerian Army gets new university


A new university has been approved for the Nigerian Army.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) gave the approval on Wednesday at its meeting.

The approval follows the presentation of a memo by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.

Mr. Adamu announced the approval while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the meeting of the council.

the Institute of Technology and Environmental Studies to a full fledge University of Technology and Environmental Studies.

“The university was conceived as a unique one that will be different from conventional universities in Nigeria.

“The concept is to make it a solution provider and a centre of excellence for a variety of technologically related ventures such as generation and armament production,” the army chief said.

Good idea but the question is,since National defence academy (NDA)is in Kaduna, police University which most people dont even know about is in Kano,police staff college is in Jaji near Jos in Plateau state,the mobile police training camp is already in Gwosa maidugari and almost every other military academy is in the north,why not site this one in the south or does situating military academy in the south pose security threat to Nigeria?
