The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), Professor Mohammed Laminu Mele, has extended warm felicitations to the institution's Christian community on the joyous occasion of the 2025 Christmas celebration.

In a press release issued on Thursday, December 25, 2025, Professor Mele encouraged all members of the university community to use the sacred season—observed in remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ—as a time to pray for sustained peace, unity, and harmony within both the university and the nation at large.

The Vice-Chancellor specifically called on staff and students to uphold the enduring Christian virtues of love, patience, tolerance, humility, and peaceful coexistence, which he described as essential for collective progress and mutual understanding within the diverse Sahelian environment of North-Eastern Nigeria.
