The Management of Gombe State University today paid a courtesy visit to Nono District in Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area as part of efforts to strengthen the cordial relationship between the University and its host community.

The delegation was led by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Professor Danladi Muhammed Umar, and included the Registrar of the University, Dr. Abubakar Aliyu Bafeto, as well as the Deputy Registrar (Establishment), Mallam Ibrahim Abubakar Difa.

The visit was aimed at appreciating the District Head Mal. Adamu S. Kudu and the people of Nono for their sustained cooperation and cordial relationship with the University since the allocation of land for the University’s farm project by the Executive Governor of Gombe State.

During the visit, the University delegation conveyed the institution’s gratitude to the community for their continued support, towards the University’s integrated farm project.

In his remarks, the District Head expressed appreciation to the University management for the visit and reaffirmed the commitment of the Nono community to support the vision of the State Government and the University.
