The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Mathew Hassan Kukah, has commended Governor Uba Sani for his efforts in stabilising Kaduna State.
Bishop Kukah, who is also the Pro-Chancellor of the newly established Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, in Kaduna State, also praised Governor Sani for going beyond the call of duty in making the new institution a reality.
Bishop Kukah stated this when he and members of the University’s Management paid a courtesy call on Governor Sani at Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House in Kaduna on Wednesday.
The Pro-Chancellor disclosed that the Vice Chancellor, Professor Barnabas Qurix, has visited relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government (MDAs) to facilitate the commencement of academic session in the university.
Kukah, who said the Federal University of Applied Sciences has built on the pioneering efforts of the former NOK University, promised that it will be one of the best in the country.
The Bishop said the university will commence academic session in September, but it has a few challenges that will require the intervention of Kaduna State government.
He added that the university will need more infrastructure in the coming years and for this reason, it required more land for expansion, adding that the school will also require access road.
The Pro-Chancellor also said that the Federal University of Applied Sciences will require utility vehicles and adequate security.
Responding, Governor Uba Sani said that he has been working closely with Bishop Kukah on not just the University project but on a number of issues, adding that the Bishop has been a pillar of support.
