“Apart from securing the TETFUND intervention, the government appointed management of the university and took other measures to have a solid foundation for the institution.
He said the administration has also sponsored 200 indigenes of the state to study Medicine, Para-medicals and Science courses in China, India and Sudan, adding that 600 new classrooms were constructed across the state while 300 others were renovated in various primary schools.
