Alkali stated this on Thursday at the El-kenemi hall of UNIMAID during an occasion to commemorate the 2023 International Day of Peace which was organised by Peace Ambassador Centre for Humanitarian Aid And Empowerme (PACHAE).
According to Alkali, the establishment of the museum will assist the University of Maiduguri and the North East Region in area of research on violence extremism that will benefit the future generation.
“We’re considering establishing a Museum in conjunction with the University of Maiduguri to bring in the physical aspect of the insurgency as they rack their brain on research and other things.
