Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to adopt a new strategy to fight Boko Haram and other insurgents in order to achieve result.
Soyinka, who said this in a lecture titled, ‘Science and imagination in a temple of knowledge’, at the third convocation ceremony of Kwara State University, Malete, yesterday, noted that it is because the new administration has not adopted new strategy that Nigerians have not witnessed expected results.
He challenged the government to do more to end insecurity in the country occasioned by insurgency, warning that temple of learning may soon be eroded.
