In a post on his official Facebook page, Sudi expressed his pain following the guards' brutal death.
He however challenged locals residing around the Kesses-based university to take advantage of opportunities brought by the institution
"The youth should unleash the business potential the area has in order to curb unemployment," Sudi noted in the post.
As far as security issues around the university are concerned, Sudi said; "I further request the concerned authorities to beef up security across all major institutions in the entire country to avoid such cases happening in future."
Following the murder of the security guard among several other insecurity incidences at the university, locals had earlier revealed that they were planing to hold a protest to the institution.
