Dahiru said they would assist him in carrying out his duties, especially during social week activities in the department.
“As you can see, this department, I think it is the second-largest or the largest in the University of Maiduguri; so that’s why I appointed these few people. Many are calling me to complain that they were not appointed, because we have more than 5,000 students in this department.
“To me, as to why I appointed 50 aides, they are to help us in so many departmental programmes. We are currently planning a social week, So, these people we appointed will be assisting us in organising and coordinating our activities in the department; and above all, it is all about politics, “Dahiru said.
