Boko Haram will end soon – Buratai


Leut.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, the immediate past Chief of Army Staff, COAS, has expressed confidence that insurgency in the country, especially in the North East will end soon.

Buratai spoke during the Pulling Out Parade held in his honour at the Mogadishu Cantonment in Abuja on Friday.

“Let me thank my governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum. He has been supportive to me and of course, the Nigerian Army, especially in the fight against insurgency,” Buratai said.

“He came with a unique leadership and I assure you, collectively, the Nigerian Army and the Borno State Government will end this insurgency within the shortest possible time.

“I want to urge the COAS to maintain the momentum and the pressure to rid these last vestiges of the terrorists in the north-east,” he added.

The former army chief handed over to his successor, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru on Thursday.

Buratai and the other heads of security in the country resigned during the week and their resignation were immediately accepted by Muhammadu Buhari.

The Presidency also announced the appointment of the new security chiefs to introduce new ideas in the lingering battle against bandits and Boko Haram.

The new service chiefs, as DAILY POST had earlier reported, are: Major-General Leo Irabor as Chief of Defence Staff; Air Vice Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao as Chief of Air Staff; Rear Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo as Chief of Naval Staff; and General Ibrahim Attahiru as Chief of Army Staff.

Adebisi Adelaja Oye-Ekiti, 11 September 2025 — The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) on Thursday witnessed heightened tension as non-teaching staff members under the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) staged a mass protest across the campus. The protest followed a joint congress of the three unions earlier in the day, where workers resolved to take to the streets over issues ranging from unpaid relocation allowances, non-payment of August salaries, withheld arrears, alleged maladministration, and what they described as “gross misplacement of priorities” by university management. The protesting workers carried placards with bold inscriptions that captured their frustrations and demands. Some of the slogans read: “Pay Our Relocation Allowance in Full — Enough of Excuses!” “No August Salary, No Peace in FUOYE!” “Stop Cheating 2020 & 2021 Staff — Pay Our Arrears...

Omowale Olusoji, Senior Correspondent. Staff Intimidated as Foreign Students Invade Campus in a Council-Orchestrated “Welcome” for the Returning VC Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Nigeria: A University in Crisis The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) is once again engulfed in controversy as its embattled Vice Chancellor, Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina, staged a dramatic and questionable return to office after months of forced “research leave.” This return, which occurred without any formal communication to the Senate, Council, or the wider university community, has sparked outrage among academic and administrative staff, who describe the event as “a coup against the university system.” Even more alarming is the allegation that the Council Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), facilitated the VC’s return using external and foreign students to intimidate university staff, an action that many see as an abuse of authority and a breach of university statutes. An Unprecedented ...
