The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, Wednesday, commended Governor Uba Sani on his efforts in stabilising Kaduna state, given its strategic importance in the country.
Bishop Kukah who is also the Pro-Chancellor of Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, hailed the governor for going beyond the call of duty in making the univarsity a reality.
The bishop gave these accolades when he and members of the university’s management paid a courtesy call on Governor Sani at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.
He stated that the vice chancellor, Professor Barnabas Qurix, has visited relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government to facilitate the commencement of academic session.
Kukah who said the Federal University of Applied Science has built on the pioneering efforts of the former NOK University and promised that it will be one of the best in the country.
He said the university will commence academic session in September, but it has a few challenges that that will require the intervention of Kaduna state.
The clergyman said the university will need more infrastructure in the coming years and for this reason, it requires more land for expansion, adding that the school will also require access road.
He also said the Federal University of Applied Sciences will require utility vehicles and adequate security.
Responding, Governor Uba Sani said he has been working closely with Bishop Kukah on not just the university but on a number of issues, adding that the clergyman has been a pillar of support.
