Forum Urges Kogi Govt. to Support Federal University Lokoja

The Kogi Elders Forum has appealed to the State Government to support the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) in its developmental struggles and strides.

This call was made by the forum’s Chairman, Chief Julius Elukpo, during a visit to the Institution in Lokoja.

Chief Elukpo’s appeal comes after FUL Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olayemi Akinwumi, expressed concerns that the University was yet to feel the state government’s impact.

Akinwumi highlighted that the University had grown from four to 10 faculties without an approved Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) and lacked a structure to call its own from the state government.

Elukpo acknowledged the University’s progress, citing its growth from four to 10-14 faculties, and expressed satisfaction with the Institution’s development.

He attributed the growth to the appointment of an indigenous Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Akinwumi.

The Chairman hopes that Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo would reconsider and support the Institution’s developmental struggles, enabling it to become one of the best in the country.
