The Governing Council of Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, has stated that it has commenced the process of recruiting a substantive vice chancellor of the institution.

The chairman of the Governing Council, Prof Williams Qurix, stated this during their periodic meeting to review the university’s affairs.

According to him, the council as the university’s highest supervisory body, regularly meet to assess its operations based on management submissions.

“This is one of such times we come to receive submissions from the management of the university to review them. In doing so, we took some decisions, that are far-reaching, some have different degrees of consequences among others.”

Speaking on the university’s leadership, Prof Qurix announced the commencement of the search for a substantive vice chancellor.

“On the general performance of the university management, the Council, through the Finance and General Purpose Committee, through the presentation made by the Vice Chancellor, is satisfied that the university is performing well and that the Vice Chancellor has been in an acting position,” he said.

Prof Qurix stated that “Council approved that the position of the Vice Chancellor be advertised any moment. These were the key decisions that were made, and the reason was to give the university a substantive Vice Chancellor.”

The chairman of the Governing Council further emphasised the groundbreaking nature of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy, stating, “You know that this is topical. I think that I make bold to say that it is pioneering work, especially policy on artificial intelligence. This is aimed at giving the university a good boost, an edge, and also to position it for responsibility as expected.”

Addressing the recent security concerns in Bokkos, Prof Qurix assured the university community of their safety, adding that “the university remains safe’ and assured that many security measures have been taken to guarantee the safety of lives and property.
