The news for the reopening of schools, including universities in the country, is as one of the best news received by students and their parents, after months of staying at home. However, for students of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), the development came with mixed feelings -excited to go back to school and the fear of Damaturu-Maiduguri road, the only way linking Maiduguri to other states of the federation.
Almost all the roads linking the Borno State capital with other states are not accessible, due to the activities of insurgents. They include the Maiduguri-Damboa road, which is still considered a `no go’ area as a result of the activities of Boko Haram insurgents.
