NUC approves second state university for Benue.

The National Universities Commission has granted Benue State a provisional licence to establish a new state university.

The Executive Secretary of NUC, Prof. Abdullahi Ribadu, presented the licence to the State’s Deputy Governor, Samuel Ode, who represented Governor Hyacinth Alia at the occasion on Wednesday.

Ribadu said the institution, Benue State University of Agriculture, Science and Technology, located at Ihugh in Vandeikaya Local Government Area, Benue State, has become the second Benue state-owned university.

He said that the new addition brought the number of state-owned universities in the country to 68 and the total universities in Nigeria to 299.

"We expect that it will adhere strictly to the guidelines set forth for quality assurance, character development, and overall management of academic programmes.

“I have no doubt that this university will play a vital role in shaping the future of education, especially agriculture, and the development of this country.

“Going forward, whenever you are ready, we will write the commission to send a team to look at the facilities on the ground.

"We will look at the communities, facilities, infrastructure, human capital, staff members and resources you have,’’ he said.

The governor, for his part, said the development marked a watershed moment in the state’s pursuit of academic excellence.

“For those who know the people of Benue and our quest for education, you will understand the joy with which we receive this recognition that the Commission has accorded.

“We are indeed very grateful and want to assure the Executive Secretary of the NUC that Benue State will pursue the mandate of its university with all the zeal required.

“We shall, in no time, put in place the necessary amenities and platforms that will enable us to drive the agenda and help this university to reach its full potential,’’ he said.

Dike-Si-Mba 1 is working

More grace

Keep establishing to take monies from the masses ,no jobs.

And with all these, some people still believe Tinubu will lose!!!

Ok, dreaming is allowed

Total waste of time and resources if the government of both benue and Fg could not convert the resources in Benue to create employment, Oranges, Mangoes etc are wasting in hudge quantity , yet we are claiming that Nigerians are taking juice meanwhile we are gulping flavours while the real juice that would have been extracted is wasting away in the bush.

Universities everywhere producing graduates with nowhere to work? This will become a national crisis when everyone gets a Ph.D and then asked to go and learn a skill.

FOOLISH PEOPLE


WHERE BANDITS ARE KILLING PEOPLE LIKE FOWL

how did your Messiah convert local product to use when he was governor?..

Your agulu fraud was governor of one of d most industrialised state in Nigeria but at d same time he was one of d highest importer of foreign products

University up and down, but tuition fee not affordable

Why didn't the confused state Governor reverend father, name the school reverend father orshi instead of changing the existing Benue state University name to the reverend father orshi

They need security apparatus not a university

Lack of priorities . A state with already a federal university & a state university; looking for the second state university in the midst of IDP camps and high insecurity that they cannot even go to farm as 'The Food Basket of the Nation'. What a Misplaced Priority!!!

This country is insane. There is no security and u are approavinf university. Maybe this terrorist apc govt want to recruit bandits there

No time to waste, I dey busy dey find money

Good one. Let them make good use of it.

This will increase job creation and other business opportunities

Good but the problem is this, where is the jobs after the schooling

Oyo state is there dragging LAUTECH, with Odin instead of establishing another university.

Small mindset.

Do you know the multiplier effect universities bring to a community.

I don’t need to lecture you on this. Your reasoning capacity will not contain it.

Until they kill all benue people finish

Security is the main problem leave school !

Government are establishing schools
Clerics are constructing more worship centers
Alfa constructing mosques
If the Government are not creating job opportunities with the supposed minimum wage do they expect private entities to create jobs and how many of these private institutions can pay minimum wage
Governments and always creating more problems than solutions

Universities without standard

Complete trash 🗑️

None in idoma land?

OK
