The Plateau State University (PLASU) Bokkos has matriculated 4,000 students in its 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 combined matriculation across nine faculties.
Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Bernard Malau Matur, made this known during the matriculation ceremony in Bokkos.
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.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang represented by the speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Gabriel Dewan assured that his administration would continue to prioritise education for the growth of the state.
The commissioner for higher education, Hon. Dr. Kacholom Gang, urged the students to make good use of the opportunity they have in their hands.
“Today is the beginning of the race, you can only complete it if you abide by the rules. You must all work hard to come out with out with good grades, there is dignity in hard work,” she said.
