Professor Paiko emphasized that AKU Minna, the newest university in the state, has a clear mandate to produce innovative thinkers and entrepreneurship-driven graduates. He also highlighted the Senator’s long-standing contribution to education through scholarships and infrastructure development in the region.
Senator Musa assured the university of his ongoing support and noted that the Niger State National Assembly Caucus would work together to further assist AKU Minna as it continues its mission of transforming education in the state.
The AKU team, which included Deputy Registrar Babangida Bala Jatau, Ag. Director of Resource Mobilization Shehu Mohammed Sarkindaji, and the Vice Chancellor’s Personal Assistant, extended their appreciation for the Senator’s commitment and looked forward to the positive impact his interventions will bring to the university community.
