Representing the Visitor to the university and Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umar Bago, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Alhaji Sirajo Saidu, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to sustaining bursary payments for indigenous students.

He advised the matriculants to remain focused and disciplined, warning against distractions that could derail their academic and future aspirations.
