Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor Prof. Musa Tukur Yakasai disclosed that he inherited a debt of N3 billion upon taking office, of which the current administration led by Governor Abba Yusuf has already cleared over N2 billion.
Prof. Yakasai further noted that more than 30 out of the 40 academic programmes offered by the institution have secured full accreditation.
In a show of support, Governor Yusuf announced that his administration has approved the construction of internal road networks and drainage systems within the university.
