The University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) is a Federal higher institution located in Maiduguri, the capital city of Borno State in Northeast Nigeria.[1] The university was created by the federal government of Nigeria in 1975, with the intention of its becoming one of the country's principal higher-education institutions.[2] It enrolls about 25,000 students in its combined programs, which include a college of medicine and faculties of agriculture, arts, environmental science, Allied health science, Basic medical science, dentistry, education, engineering, law, management science, pharmacy, science, social science, and veterinary medicine. With the encouragement of the federal government, the university has recently been increasing its research efforts, particularly in the fields of agriculture, medicine and conflict resolution, and expanding the university press. The university is the major higher institution of learning in the north-eastern part of the country.[3]
In the early morning of January 16, 2017, there was a suicide bomb attack at a mosque at the University. The explosion killed four people, including Professor Aliyu Mani and one of the attackers, and wounding seventeen.[6][7][8] The wounded were rushed to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.[9] Another attacker, a girl approximately 12 years old, was reportedly shot by police as she approached the university, detonating her explosives and killing her.[8] Responsibility for the attack was claimed by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.[10] The number of attackers involved has varied between reports, but one of the bombers was believed to be a teenage girl.[6][8]
Three suicide bombers attacked the University on June 25 and June 26, 2017, killing one security guard.[11][12] The university has begun digging a 27 kilometer trench around the perimeter in order to prevent Boko Haram attacks.[12]
