The outgoing Vice-Chancellor of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Professor Suleiman Bala Mohammed has said that he is leaving the University, better than he met it when he assumed duty as the Chief Executive Officer of the institution 5 years ago.
The Vice-Chancellor made the remark during an interactive session he had with membership of University Union leaders, leaders of faith-based organizations on campus and students’ union groups at the old senate chamber of the University on Tuesday 5th March 2024.
Professor Suleiman stated that the interactive session which is part of the itinerary for the transition of the office of the Vice-Chancellor is designed to acknowledge and thank the various groups, unions and associations for the massive support they have given his administration and also to mark the exit of the current administration.
Professor Suleiman noted that during his stewardship, the University recorded massive infrastructural development which has changed the landscape and aesthetics of the University, he described the new senate building as one of such edifices that has added value to the University which was constructed during his tenure. He also noted that other campuses in the University have also received an infrastructural boost.

While acknowledging the support that his administration has received from both Christian and Muslim groups on campus, Professor Suleiman thanked them for ensuring religious harmony and tranquillity on campus, noting that throughout his tenure there has never been any recorded case of religious intolerance or disturbance on campus.
The Vice-Chancellor also hailed the four industrial unions on campus made up of ASUU, SSANU, NASU and NAAT for ensuring industrial harmony on campus, stressing that since his assumption of duty, no case of local strike was recorded only National strikes in which the Unions joined their counterparts in solidarity.
Professor Suleiman reported that during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor, the University recorded an expansion in academic programs with the introduction of the Faculty of Engineering, Gudi-Campus and the College of Medical and Health Sciences in the Main Campus and a host of other Institutes and Centres which are doing well in their respective fields.
The Vice-Chancellor also used the forum to clarify the issue of increment in school fees. He explained that there was no increase in school fees, but rather fees for GST were introduced to ameliorate the services rendered by the Directorate of GST to make it more independent and self-sustaining stressing that because the administration is not oblivious to the economic situation, the amount introduced will not add additional stress to the students.
The high point of the event was an interactive session where invited members gave goodwill messages and paid glowing tributes to the Suleiman Bala-led administration and group photographs were also taken.
