UniAbuja Attracts 50 Foreign Students

Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja (UniAbuja), Professor Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah, has said the repositioning of the institution has attracted over 50 international students.

Na’Allah stated this while inspecting nine newly completed projects in the institution, which include an office block for the Faculty of Basic Clinical Science, an office block for the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, a 500-capacity lecture theatre for the College of Health Science and Academic Conference Centre Phase 1.

Others are a microfinance bank, an indoor sports hall, and international male and female hostels.

LEADERSHIP reports that Na’Allah will bow out from office in a few days after five years of meritorious and impactful tenure.

He said the university has been fully repositioned to help address some of the nation’s problems.

“We have repositioned our university for greatness because this nation depends on universities, and the University of Abuja is at the point where it must begin to make a difference,” he said.

The vice chancellor said that several completed projects that were ready for commissioning were executed as part of the management’s commitment to change the face of the university.

“This is just refocusing our university as a priority. We know a great environment and a great performance by students and staff,” the VC said.

Na’Allah said several other ongoing projects in the university are expected to be finished in the coming months, with the new facilities poised to make a substantial impact.
