UNIMAID VC BAGS PRESTIGIOUS LAN FELLOWSHIP AS SCHOLARS CHART DIGITAL FUTURE FOR NIGERIAN LANGUAGES

The University of Maiduguri Vice-Chancellor, Professor Muhammed Laminu Mele, has bagged the prestigious Linguistic Association of Nigeria (LAN) fellowship as Nigeria's top academics, policymakers, and linguistic experts gathered at the headquarters of the National Open University of Nigeria in Abuja. The 37th Annual Conference of the association, themed "Language Policy, Power and Practice in Multilingual Nigeria," was held on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. Organized in collaboration with the National Institute for Nigerian Languages, the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council, and the British Council.

Delivering his acceptance speech on behalf of the inductees, Professor Mele captivated the audience with a profound sense of humility and visionary leadership. He expressed deep gratitude for the honor, noting that it wasn't just a personal win, but a massive recognition for the entire academic community at the University of Maiduguri. He didn't just celebrate, though. He took a solemn moment to pay tribute to two late giants of the association, Professor Emeritus Ayo Bamgbose and Professor Harrison Rotimi Adeniyi. Reaffirming his commitment to the cause, Professor Mele stressed that everyone must honor the legacies of these great scholars by making sure indigenous languages remain a powerful tool for national unity, policy formulation, and societal growth.

The Vice-Chancellor's nomination by the association's Board of Trustees was hailed as a celebration of his high ethical research standards, hard work, and major contributions to language development. But he wasn't alone in this spotlight. The 2026 Fellows of LAN (FLAN) conferment also included several other distinguished academic heavyweights. Alongside Professor Mele, the association inducted Professor Roseline I. Ndimele, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Administration at Abia State University, as well as Professor Oladipo Ajiboye, Professor Terver Udu, Professor Ibrahim Rabi Abdulsalam, Professor C.U.C Ugorji, and Professor Philomena Ejele. To bridge the gap between academia and society, the 2026 honorary fellows of LAN (HFLAN) were also announced. This highly coveted honor went to His Royal Highness, Mai Alhaji Dr. Umar Bubaram Ibn Wuriwa Bauya (OON), Hon. Ibrahim Muhammed, and Mr. C.Y Agbegha, recognizing their immense support for cultural preservation.

Earlier in the ceremony, the Chief Host and NOUN Vice-Chancellor, Professor Uduma Oji Uduma, gave a passionate opening address. He reminded everyone that indigenous languages are the ultimate repositories of human civilization and warned against letting global digital trends push African languages into extinction. The LAN National President, Professor Gideon Sunday Omachonu, also took the podium to reflect on the association's journey. He urged the seasoned scholars in the room to intentionally mentor younger colleagues, ensuring the baton of this noble profession is smoothly passed on to the next generation.

Lending his wealth of experience to the discourse, the former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Professor Munzali Jibril, emphasized the critical role of the university system in driving these language policies. He pointed out that while policies often look great on paper, their actual survival depends heavily on how well higher institutions integrate indigenous linguistics into their core curricula. He challenged the universities represented at the conference to move beyond basic advocacy and instead build strong institutional frameworks that fund and support deep, actionable research into Nigerian languages.

Driving the academic conversation home, the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University Lokoja, Professor Gbenga Solomon Ibileye, delivered a thought-provoking keynote address. He challenged the linguists to face the economic realities of language in Nigeria, pointing out that parents naturally favor English for its global and economic opportunities. To counter the threat of digital extinction, Professor Ibileye urged African linguists to quickly embrace computational linguistics and Artificial Intelligence, warning that any language failing to participate in the digital space risks being completely marginalized.

NEDC LIGHTS UP UNIMAID BASKETBALL COURT WITH SOLAR STREET LIGHTS

Evening basketball training at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has received a massive infrastructural boost following the donation and installation of 11 high-capacity solar street lights at the campus basketball court by the North East Development Commission (NEDC).

The facilities were formally handed over on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, by the Secretary of the NEDC, Bejemin Wesley. An alumnus of the institution, Wesley facilitated the solar lighting project as a personal contribution to upgrade his alma mater's sporting facilities and support the athletic development of its students.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mohammed Laminu Mele, the Director of Legal Affairs, Asmau Abba Jatau, Esq., commended the NEDC Secretary for the timely and highly impactful intervention. Also present at the handover ceremony were the Director of Sports, Professor Zakariya M. Nayawo; the Deputy Director of Sports, Amos Chiroma; and the University's Basketball Coach, Dr. Yakubu Usman.

Prior to this development, the university’s basketball team relied heavily on natural daylight for practice, forcing evening training sessions to end abruptly at dusk. The newly installed solar lighting system completely eliminates this hurdle, enabling players to seamlessly continue their drills, tactical sessions, and recreational games well after sunset.

Beyond illuminating the court, the intervention provides student-athletes with the much-needed flexibility to balance their rigorous academic schedules with their sporting commitments.

UNIMAID LEADS PUSH FOR CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE AS NRF–TETFUND PROJECT REACHES FINAL REVIEW

The University of Maiduguri has reinforced its commitment to research-driven solutions for food security and sustainable farming by hosting the Final Project Review and Knowledge Management Meeting of the NRF–TETFund initiative. Held on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at the university's Centre for Instructional Technology (CIT), the high-profile engagement focused on strengthening farmers’ local innovations for a seamless transition to Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) in Nigeria.

The strategic gathering brought together a diverse group of researchers, principal investigators, participating local farmers, and development partners. It also drew key representatives from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), the University of Ibadan, Landmark University, GEFCON, the National Research Fund (NRF), and TETFund.

Representing the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Muhammed Laminu Mele, the Director of Research and Development, Professor Ibrahim Ilya, commended the participating institutions and researchers for their robust collaboration in tackling some of the most critical environmental challenges facing the country.

Professor Ilya noted that climate change continues to severely impact farmers through rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, devastating flooding, and rapid land degradation. These factors, he warned, carry dire implications for national food production, rural livelihoods, and broader economic development.

To effectively combat these challenges, the Director emphasized the absolute necessity of placing farmers at the center of agricultural innovation. He pointed out that their indigenous knowledge and years of practical field experience are indispensable for developing solutions that are not only locally relevant but also sustainable enough to deliver lasting impacts.

Furthermore, Professor Ilya urged the research team to ensure that the project’s findings transition beyond mere academic publications. He challenged stakeholders to use the data to actively influence government policies, improve everyday farming practices, and deliver tangible economic benefits to local farming communities. He also called for deepened partnerships across the board—spanning researchers, farmers, extension workers, policymakers, the private sector, and development organizations—to successfully scale up these proven innovations.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Director of CIT, Professor Lawan Asheikh Gana, lauded TETFund, the core research team, and all collaborating institutions for their unwavering commitment to the project. He expressed special appreciation to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mele, for his consistent administrative support and institutional backing for technology-driven teaching, learning, and research at the university.

Providing a comprehensive breakdown of the initiative, the Co-Principal Investigator, Professor Catherine O. Ojo, presented a detailed overview of the project. She highlighted its core objectives, major achievements, groundbreaking research findings, and the strong prospects for sustaining and scaling up its various interventions.

Professor Ojo disclosed that the gathering provided an essential platform for reviewing milestones, documenting vital lessons learned, and charting clear pathways for advancing farmer-led innovations across the country.

Ultimately, the engagement strongly reaffirmed the critical role that Nigerian universities and research institutions must continue to play in developing home-grown, practical solutions to climate change, food insecurity, and other emerging national development challenges.

SENATE COMMITTEE, NELFUND TAKE STUDENT LOAN CAMPAIGN TO NORTHEAST AS UNIMAID EMERGES TOP BENEFICIARY

The Federal Government’s push to eliminate financial barriers to higher education gained major momentum on Monday, 31st August 2026, as the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND led a high-powered delegation to Maiduguri for a regional sensitization on the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

Hosted at the University of Maiduguri’s Muhammadu Indimi Conference Center, the event brought together vice-chancellors, rectors, provosts, traditional rulers, and student leaders from across the Northeast.

The gathering was part of an ongoing nationwide campaign aimed at deepening awareness, addressing misconceptions, and guiding eligible students on how to seamlessly access the much-talked-about student loan scheme.

For the Northeast, a region where economic realities have historically threatened the educational aspirations of many young people, the intervention comes at a critical time. The program was geared towards a direct platform for students and school administrators to get firsthand information on eligibility criteria and application procedures.

Declaring the session open, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND, Senator Dandutse Muntari Mohammed, noted that the outreach was a core part of the lawmakers' oversight responsibilities.

He stressed that ensuring educational institutions develop and that government interventions actually reach the masses remains a top priority for the Senate. By providing unhindered access to student financing, he explained, the government aims to drastically reduce the number of youths forced out of school due to unpaid tuition.

Senator Dandutse was quick to clarify that the sensitization was entirely non-partisan. The primary goal, he stated, was to equip parents, students, and management boards with accurate information, noting that many eligible Nigerians often miss out on life-changing government programs simply because they do not fully understand the application process.

He added that the initiative supports President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of democratizing access to tertiary education.

In his goodwill message, the host of the event, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri, Professor Mohammed Laminu Mele, commended the Federal Government and the Senate Committee for choosing UNIMAID as the focal point for the regional dialogue.

Highlighting the immediate impact of the scheme on his campus, Professor Mele revealed a major institutional milestone.

"Before NELFUND, a lot of students could not afford to pay their tuition fees," the Vice-Chancellor said. "But today, thanks to the introduction of this scheme, 100 percent of tuition fees have been paid for our eligible students, making the University of Maiduguri the highest beneficiary of NELFUND among tertiary institutions."

He noted that the financial intervention has significantly eased the burden on families, allowing young people to stay in school and focus entirely on their studies without the looming anxiety of unpaid fees.

Speaking during the closing session, Senator Professor Adedayo Francis Faduyile, a member of the Committee, reiterated the current administration's commitment to investing heavily in the youth. He strongly urged eligible students across the Northeast to take full advantage of the opportunity.

Rather than allowing financial hurdles to cut their educational dreams short, Senator Faduyile encouraged students to seek out the right information, meticulously fill out their applications, and utilize the available funds.

The sensitization wrapped up with interactive sessions, allowing students and administrators to ask direct questions, raise specific concerns, and clear up grey areas regarding the financing process.

VISIONARY LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMS UNIMAID PRINTING PRESS FROM REDUNDANCY TO A REGIONAL HUB

In what can only be described as a masterclass in institutional administration and strategic revenue generation, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri, Professor Mohammed Laminu Mele, has quietly but forcefully spearheaded a massive revitalization of Unimaid Ventures Limited. Serving as the Chairman of the venture, the Vice-Chancellor’s apex leadership has catalyzed a sweeping transformation, most notably within the University Printing Press. Once plagued by obsolete equipment, unconducive working conditions, and financial losses, the Unimaid Press has now been aggressively repositioned into a highly profitable, modern-facility-driven press, poised to dominate the printing market in the North-Eastern region of Nigeria.

Shedding light on this phenomenal turnaround, the Acting Managing Director of Unimaid Ventures Limited, Professor Opeyemi K. Akinniyi, a distinguished Professor of Accounting and Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), detailed the extent of the Vice-Chancellor’s strategic interventions during a recent media parley.

Recalling the state of the facility prior to the current administration's intervention, Professor Akinniyi noted that the Printing Press was a shadow of its potential. When she assumed office as the Acting Managing Director, the facility was not in good shape, with virtually all the air conditioners broken and the environment largely unconducive for members of staff. Furthermore, most of the machines were classified as dead or beyond repair. However, following a strategic interaction with Professor Mele, the narrative changed entirely. Driven by an inspiring vision to make the facility the best in the region, the Vice-Chancellor immediately committed significant resources to an aggressive infrastructural and technological overhaul.

Today, the working environment has been completely transformed. Close to fifteen air-conditioning units have become functional, alongside optimal lighting systems to ensure maximum productivity. Beyond aesthetics and comfort, the Vice-Chancellor authorized a massive technological upgrade that has brought the facility firmly into the digital age. The Computer-to-Plate (CTP) machine, which had been dumped and abandoned, was fully repaired, meaning the University no longer needs to outsource plate preparation to external vendors.

With the old Direct Imaging (DI) machine declared absolute scrap, the Vice-Chancellor also approved the procurement of a brand-new DI machine capable of handling high-definition, glossy printing. To complement this, the Press is taking delivery of an electronic, modern-day stitching machine, finally replacing a relic that had been in use since 1985. Deliveries of a new hot glue machine and advanced book-binding equipment are equally underway. Among new machines expected to be delivered In addition to these upgrades, is a new electronic foil blocking machine has been procured to seamlessly and digitally brand student project covers, and customized crafts directly from a personal computer, effectively abandoning the tedious, old-fashioned manual character arrangement.

Perhaps the most significant administrative victory for the Vice-Chancellor in this sector is the total domestication of the University's examination materials. Aided by a newly acquired numbering machine, the UNIMAID Printing Press is now producing all the examination booklets of the University internally. Professor Akinniyi stated meekly that no percentage of the examination booklets are being produced outside anymore. By halting the outsourcing of these vital materials, the Mele-led administration has aggressively blocked financial leakages, saving University of Maiduguri millions while massively boosting its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

Despite the aggressive drive for internal revenue, Professor Mele has ensured that the facility retains a human face, particularly concerning student welfare. As part of the upgrades, new high-capacity photocopy machines were procured strictly to serve the student population at highly subsidized rates. While external business centers charge exorbitant fees, the University Printing Press charges students a mere token of twenty Naira per page, whether running on public power or generators. The objective here is not to make sheer profit, but to break even and recover costs while making life significantly easier for the students.

Looking ahead, the Acting Managing Director expressed gratitude for the support provided by the Chairman and expresses with absolute confidence that with the arrival of the new DI, Speed Master and binding machines, the UNIMAID Printing Press will soon dominate the commercial printing landscape of the North-East. By eliminating the need for clients to travel to other states for high-quality printing, the University is strategically positioning itself to capture lucrative regional printing contracts.

Furthermore, the Directorate of Media and Information can now look forward to a seamless partnership with Unimaid Printing Press. Assuring the Public Relations unit of their capacity, Professor Akinniyi confirmed that the Press is fully equipped to produce the University’s official bulletins and magazines with the highest possible glossy output, meeting global corporate standards. Driven by the Vice-Chancellor's unwavering support, the morale among the printing staff is currently at an all-time high. The older generation of technical staff has shown renewed commitment, pledging to not only meet but surpass the Chairman's expectations.

Through Unimaid Ventures Limited, Professor Mohammed Laminu Mele is proving once again that with visionary leadership, accountability, and strategic investments, the University of Maiduguri’s internal assets can be transformed into robust engines of economic sustainability and institutional pride.

To achieve these ambitious targets, the UN-PAF expects the Registrar to work closely with stakeholders at all levels. He has been tasked with collaborating with government institutions, traditional and religious leaders, educational institutions, civil society organisations, and development partners. The Foundation particularly emphasised the need to engage "youth and women organisations, as well as local communities," to ensure a deeply rooted, grassroots impact.

Expressing absolute confidence in his capacity to deliver, the Office of the Africa High Commissioner noted that his unique blend of professionalism and visionary leadership would significantly advance humanitarian action in the region. The Foundation consequently called on its officials, Peace Ambassadors, and strategic partners to "extend their cooperation and support to the newly appointed Borno State Director as he assumes his responsibilities."

Reacting to the development, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mohammed Laminu Mele, alongside the entire University of Maiduguri community, expressed immense pride in this global endorsement of the Registrar.

Congratulating Ahmad Alhaji Lawan on the well-deserved recognition, the Vice-Chancellor noted that the appointment is a brilliant reflection of the institution's standard. "This is not just a personal milestone for the Registrar, but a proud reflection of the institutional excellence and high-caliber leadership that UNIMAID continues to export to the global stage," Professor Mele said.
