“Without this strong support, the university could have not come this far,” he said.

He, however, identified encroachment by surrounding communities of the university as one of the challenges confronting the institution.

Maimako appealed to the Federal Government to provide a security outpost within the proximity to the university to augment the its security efforts.

The Pro- Chancellor of the University, Mr Tony Momoh, commended the President for the federal capital appropriation and direct intention by Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).
