October 2024

As the director of the EDC, I had the opportunity to visit the National Directorate of Employment in Abuja with our Honourable Vice-Chancellor Prof Saadatu Hassan Liman , Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Administration Prof Lagi, the university bursar Alhaji Murtala, and other team members. This courtesy visit aimed to explore potential collaborations, particularly in skill acquisition initiatives. The Director General, H.E Silas Ali Agara, a prominent figure and former Deputy Governor from Nasarawa State, has a strong relationship with the Vice-Chancellor, which could facilitate a renewed partnership between our university and the NDE. This collaboration has the potential to significantly contribute to national development.
