The Federal University Dutsin-ma (FUDMA), Katsina state has pledged to offer automatic employment to students who graduate with first class honours degree as a way to encourage excellence.

The vice chancellor of the university, Prof. James Ayatse made the pledge at the 4th matriculation and scholarship award ceremony of the university.

He said the varsity had abolished ‘pass’ degree grade, pointing out that students who fail to obtain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of above 1 point in two successive semesters would be automatically withdrawn.

According to him, the university is configured as a modern university to meet the needs of the new generation of on-the-go young people and is also ICT-driven in all perspectives.

“We believe that information technology is the backbone of any modern university, we shall teach you along this line and how to enjoy learning throughout your life time”, he said.

A total of 519 students were matriculated out of which 253 are of the Faculty of Management and Social Sciences, while Agriculture and Agricultural Technology and Science and Education have 54 and 212 students respectively.
