On the background of the security situation in the country, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Sulyman Abdulkareem, said that the university management is working hard to ensure that members of the university community are given adequate protection by engaging more security personnel.
Speaking with journalists after breaking Ramadan fast with them in Ilorin, the Vice-Chancellor also said that the university has improved its security architecture and increased security personnel on the campus to address current security challenges in the country.
Prof Abdulkareem, who described the spate of kidnapping and insecurity in the country as worrisome, said that the university planned to engage more security personnel as staff, as some of them are already nearing retirement age.

It has been a difficult moment for our family, people of Bauchi State and our country. Dr Zuwaira Garkuwa, a former commissioner in the Bauchi State Ministry of Health, consultant physician/associate professor of community medicine in the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, died in a ghastly motor accident on November 23, 2020. That day will never be forgotten as long as we still live on this planet. She died on her way to attend an official function, typical of her nature.
