The 37th Founders’ Day
and 29th Convocation
ceremonies of the
Federal University of
Technology, Minna may
have come and gone, it
is pertinent to reflect on
the notable milestones
recorded by the
institution since
inception.
The University was
established on February
1st, 1983 with a vision
to become a world class
institution of learning
and Nigeria’s leading
University recognized
for its excellence in
capacity building and
service delivery. The
institution’s mission
focuses on the training
of skilled and innovative
workforce that would
transform Nigeria’s
natural resources into
goods and services
driven by
entrepreneurship as well
as Information and
Communications
Technology (ICT) to
positively affect the
economy and thus the
quality of life of her
people. It is instructive
to note that 37 years
down the line since its
establishment, the
University has not
deviated from its stated
vision and mission.
The University started at
a temporary campus in
Bosso with barely 15
staff, less than 100
pioneer students and
two Schools. The
University now has nine
faculties including the
Postgraduate School,
over 22,000 students
population and over
3,000 staff strength
which comprises both
teaching and non-
teaching staff. The
University also moved
into its permanent
campus located along
Minna-Bida road during
the 2004/2005
academic session.
From an obscure
background, the
institution now has
more than 130
professors, providing
scholarly mentorship for
junior staff and students
of the University. There
are about 165 staff of
the university who are
within and outside the
country pursuing
various doctorate and
Master’s degree
programmes under the
institution’s sponsorship
policy. The selection
process is transparent
and rancour free
because the
consideration of staff for
study fellowship is
under the purview of
the University’s
Committee of Deans who
has the mandate to
make recommendation
to the Vice-Chancellor for
approval.
Since its inception, it has
been one story of
progress or another for
FUT Minna. The
University has been
soaring high like an
eagle in all perspectives
which has also
culminated in the
institution being ranked
as the best specialized
university in the country.
FUT, Minna was one of
only two Universities to
have scored AA+ in the
last and only institutional
accreditation exercise
conducted by the
National Universities
Commission (NUC) and
4th among the best
most preferred
graduates by employers.
Indeed, FUT Minna is
truly a cosmopolitan
university in the country,
with its students and
staff population drawn
from every local
government area in the
country. The University
has consistently
provided a level playing
field for staff and
students to aspire for
any position irrespective
of religion, tribe or
ethnic considerations. It
is a university where the
best brains are
assembled on the basis
of what they can offer
and not where they hail
from. This is further
demonstrated with staff
from various ethnic or
religious backgrounds
occupying vital
positions. Similarly, in
terms of students’
admission, every local
government area in the
country is also
represented in the
University’s admission
policy.
Furthermore, cases
abound of other people
from the Southern part
of the country heading
sensitive positions in the
University. This is a story
that is rare in other
federal institutions in
the country where
attainment of elective or
appointive posts are
based on primordial
sentiments. The liberal
disposition of the
institution towards all
nationals since inception
has no doubt accounted
for its impressive
progress.
For seven years running,
FUT, Minna has been
consistent in conducting
its convocation
ceremony every year
with certificates issued
to graduands on the
spot in tandem with
global best practices.
This singular act has
further endeared the
University alumni to the
institution. Also,
students’ transcripts
have been automated
and its alumni can now
apply for their
transcripts online via the
university website from
any part of the world.
The period of
application and
collection of transcript is
now less than three
days. Also, staff of the
University are promoted
as and when due in line
with the University’s
extant laws. For
instance, it is on record
that all professorial
promotions for 2018
have been concluded
and those for 2019 have
been sent out for
external assessment. The
University also holds its
Senate meeting every
last Wednesday of the
Month to deliberate on
issues of contemporary
importance for the
development of the
University, and
examination results are
usually approved by the
University Senate within
six weeks after the
examination.
FUT Minna has an
intriguing track record
of superb scholarship
comparable to any part
of the world and this
has made the university
the cynosure of all eyes
whenever quality
university education is
mentioned in this clime.
In the area of research
breakthrough, the
institution ranks high
among its peers in the
country and has a well-
documented history of
ambitious researches
that led to amazing
discoveries. In the early
1990s, one of the
University researchers,
Prof Samuel A. Garba of
the Department of
Microbiology developed
the typhoid fever vaccine
which became the toast
of the country. In terms
of research grants, the
University researchers
have attracted many
grants to the institution
since its establishment.
Notable among these
grants are; the World
Bank (Step-B) project for
vaccine and drug
development to the tune
of 5.5 million dollars. The
World Bank grant led to
the establishment of the
Centre for Genetic
Engineering and
Biotechnology. At this
Centre, some of the
university researchers
carried out a study
which led to the
development of the first
carbon nanotube for the
treatment of water
plants in Nigeria.
In 2012, the university
won a grant from
Germany for the
establishment of West
African Science Service
Centre on Climate
Change and Adapted
Land Use (WASCAL)
Master Research
Programme (MRP) in
Climate Change and
Adapted Land Use (CC &
ALU). Owing to the
outstanding
performance of the
University, the
programme has been
upgraded to Ph.D. status
in Climate Change and
Human Habitat. This has
also contributed
immensely to the bulk of
the University research
drive geared at tackling
societal problems in the
areas of climate change,
environmental
degradation and safety.
This programme has
also assisted greatly in
the institution’s quest
for internationalization
of its programmes
because the bulk of
students for the WASCAL
programme are from the
West African sub-region,
thereby giving FUT
Minna an international
outlook. In 2018, FUT
Minna won the World
Bank research grant for
the establishment of
Africa Centre of
Excellence for Mycotoxin
and Food Safety worth
six million dollars. This
programme will assist in
the training of
competent manpower at
Master’s and Ph.D. levels
to address the problem
of mycotoxin and food
safety in West, Central
and East Africa.
Over the years, the
University has been
consistent in winning
the Tertiary Education
Trust Fund (TETFund)
institutional based
research grants and
National Research Funds.
Out of the nine research
proposals submitted by
the university to
TETFund for the 2019
national research calls,
five went through and
got grants of N175, 943,
776. 00. FUT, Minna was
also part of a
consortium involving
four other African
Universities that won a
grant of 1. 4 million
Euros under the African
Intra-mobility
programme. The
institution also won a
grant of £155, 465 from
the Royal Academy of
Engineering, United
Kingdom for Artificial
Intelligence for Clean
Energy. For the past five
years, the university
researchers have won
several grants from the
Nigerian
Communications
Commission (NUC) in
telecommunication
related inventions. The
university has also
attracted grants from
the Federal Ministry of
Mines and Steels as well
as other local and
international sources. In
view of the University’s
commitment towards
research and patent
applications, the
National Office for
Technology Acquisition
and Promotion (NOTAP)
donated world class
equipment to the
institution for the
establishment of an
Intellectual Property and
Technology Transfer
Office (IPTTO).
Just recently, the NUC
granted approval to the
University’s Centre of
Open Distance and e-
Learning (CODeL) to run
an online degree
programme via ICT
enabled learning model
of Open Distance
Learning (ODL). In view
of the need to meet up
with the demand of the
21st century, the
university has
reinvented and
introduced some novel
courses aimed at
providing the fulcrum of
manpower required to
reshape the fortunes of
the nation. The Vice-
Chancellor of the
institution, Prof. Bala has
concluded plans to float
new programmes in the
Departments of Oil and
Gas Engineering,
Welding Engineering,
Mining Engineering and
the School of Health
Sciences.
Funding largely from the
Tertiary Education Trust
Fund (TETFund) and the
Presidential Needs
Assessment Fund for the
Revitalization of Public
Universities has enabled
the University to
undertake the
construction of
complexes for the School
of Life Sciences and the
School of Physical
Sciences. The completion
of these projects will
enable the University
relocate the two schools
from the Bosso campus
to the Gidan Kwano
campus. The University
has also started the
construction of earth
dam to address the
shortage of water
scarcity on Campus.
The University also has a
valid partnership with
some renowned
institutions abroad
namely Florida A & M
University (FAMU), United
States of America, Ghent
University, Belgium,
Anand Agricultural
University, Anand,
Gujarat, India just to
mention but a few. The
partnerships centre on
staff and students
exchange programme,
joint research
collaboration. The
University also has
collaboration with GIZ
Germany on
Entrepreneurship. There
are also some
memoranda of
understanding initiated
with the aim of
widening access to
university education
with some Polytechnics
and Colleges of
Education to run
affiliated programmes
with strict supervision
by the university.
The University’s
postgraduate
programme is now one
of the most highly
sought after on the
continent based on the
fact that it is well
structured and students
conclude their studies as
and when due without
delay for those who are
ready to work. This has
culminated in
exponential rise in the
number of students
seeking admission for
postgraduate education
in the university. The
University has also made
tremendous progress in
addressing the shortage
of students’ hostel
accommodation on
campus, mainly through
Public and Private
Partnership with
reputable investors as
well as governmental
intervention through the
Needs Assessment
Funds used to build the
Ultra-modern students
hostel adjudged as one
of the best in the
country.
The present Vice-
Chancellor of the
University, Prof.
Abdullahi Bala has
demonstrated an
unprecedented
commitment towards
the development of
University. As a
consummate University
administrator with over
30 years of scholarship,
the Vice-Chancellor has
used his contact in the
society to attract critical
infrastructure and
investors to the
institution. Notable
among these
partnerships is the on-
going construction work
for 5, 336 bed spaces
undertaken by Urban
Shelter Limited based on
Build, Operate and
Transfer agreement with
the University. To ease
the problem of students’
accommodation, the
University Alumni
Association has also
embarked on the
construction of 5, 000-
bed space hostel for the
University. The University
has also introduced the
students’ support
programme as well as
the Vice-Chancellor’s
Students’ Awards
ceremony to honour all
students who score up
to CGPA of 4.50, which is
first class grade entry
point.
The University has been
able to record all these
milestones because of
the well-documented
support it enjoys from
the host communities of
Bosso and Gidan Kwano.
To reciprocate these
gestures, the university,
since inception, has
introduced different life
changing programmes
to impact its host
communities.
The Federal University of
Technology, Minna has
gone a long way in
making a case for its
rightful elevation into
the league of the world's
elite universities. Indeed,
all these achievements
recorded over the years
from limited available
resources is proof of the
rarefied field the
institution now plays in.
Consequently, the
university is open to
more partnerships and
support from spirited
individuals, corporate
organizations,
particularly its Alumni to
enable the University
provide the right
resources that would
stimulate effective
learning and research in
its quest for more global
recognition. Indeed, FUT
Minna is moving
forward. |

| Romance › One Sided Love!!! by dhoktorlegend(op): 9:39pm On Feb 05, 2020 |
ONE SIDED LOVE!!! Hey i know how you feel right...you know it feels bad when you are in love with someone but the person does not return the love. One sided love i can say is one of the worst things that can ever happen to you. You love her; you wake with her everyday on your mind and sleep everyday seeing her in your dreams. Today she cares for you, tell you sweet words, behave romantic towards you and shows you the greenlight making you feel she loves you too but tomorrow she is giving you a bad vibe making you feel you were just having a fantasy. You end up making up your mind to forget about her but you still have feelings for her which you can't control. You call her everyday, you try to make sure you get to see her everyday. If you don't see her you end up missing her but for her the reverse is the case because she don't care even if she do not see you for days, even weeks or months. You try not to call her for some days to see if she would call you because she hasn't seen your call for some days, but you end up disappointed because she would not. Your emotions wouldn't let you, so u just have to call her. It seems you stand no chance wining her heart, you are heartbroken, you don't feel loved anymore. She does not worth your love. Its hard though but kill the feelings because you would only end up hurting yourself. Be patient LOVE would find you!!! 1 Like |
