Oronsaye Report: Merging Nigerian Army University With NDA Is Odd, Olowu Warns Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has been advised not to merge the Nigerian Army University and the Nigerian Defence Academy as part of the Steve Oronsaye report’s implementation.
The Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Hameed Adekunle Makama, Tegbosun III, issued the advice in a statement on Tuesday.
The monarch in a statement issued by his media office, said Nigerian Army University, Biu, unlike the Nigerian Defence Academy, Is a full-fledged federal university like other federal universities in the country, and offers various courses, and not a specialised university which the NDA is.
He also stated that the Nigerian Army University was established by an Act of Parliament and cannot be reversed without returning to the National Assembly to repeal the act that established it, and that merging NAUB with NDA indicates that the federal government is prepared to merge every federal university established by an Act of Parliament.
Oba Makama also reminded President Tinubu that Nigerian Army University Biu was set up to cater for the multitude of students in search of university education in the northeast axis, adding that merging it with the NDA will reduce it to an institution where military personnel are trained.
Oba Makama, however, commended President Tinubu for the political will to implement a far-reaching civil service reform that was initiated twelve years ago to cut the over-bloated costs of governance
