He said the vision of the university is to transform the educational sector through modern technology and charged the students to take advantage of the opportunity for quality education and attitude.
“Putting God first, and all things being equal with hard work and dedication, you will begin well and graduate on time during my tenure as vice chancellor so long as you cultivate the right attitude and keep to the rules and regulations of the institution.
“PLASU’s vision is to transform the entire educational system by combining both conventional face-to-face mood and online dissemination of knowledge using modern technology,” he said.
He disclosed that the university would soon have two more facilities of Engineering and Pharmaceutical Science to the already existing nine.
