Kwasu VC Urges FG To Rehabilitate IDPs

THE Vice Chancellor of Kwara State University (KWASU),Malete, Prof. Abdulrasheed Na’Allah, has urged the Federal Government to prioritise the rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) because of the activities of Boko Haram insurgents.

Na’Allah, who cautioned against any attempt at stigmatising the victims, said they should rather be celebrated as those who had fought with lions but survived the bloody duel.

He spoke yesterday at Malete during the press briefing to announce the institution third convocation.

Six graduating students of KWASU have first class, three each from institutes of pure and applied sciences and information communication and technology. A total of 732 students across the existing institutes will be awarded different degrees.

Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, will today deliver the convocation lecture.

On the IPDs, Na’Allah said: “Any nation that has the experience of Boko Haram and the wanton destructions of lives and property, rapping and assault of innocent citizens must rise up and promptly rehabilitate the victims. It was never the fault of any of these victims.
