Unimaid declares workfree day to celebrate the ‘University’s football team’ victory over the weekend in Lagos

Vice Chancellor University of Maiduguri unimaid Professor Aliyu Shugaba has declared today Monday a work free day for the University community.

The holiday is meant to celebrate the University’s football team that emerged victorious over the weekend  in the higher institution finals of their football league held at the Yaba College of Technology in Lagos.

This means that both academic and nonacademic staff in the University community will be given the opportunity to come out and celebrate the victorious boys in a lineup of activities.

A reliable source in the office of the VC  said that management would be in the airport to welcome the victorious team to the city of Yerwa where sports still thrives in spite of the lingering insurgency. 

The unimaid team Desert Warriors defeated Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba, by a lone goal to win the competition after full time.

Luck however ran out for the Akungba boys because they met stiff opposition from the unimaid defenders, led by Abdulrahaman Musa and Ochei Michael during the first half  of the match which ended goalless.
