"We have gone round the campus and seen the good work that Professor Na'Allah is doing. We would like to work with the University to build more hostels for students," Haladu said, adding that such endeavour would help cushion the effects of lack of adequate accomodation on campus.
He said feeding people who were fasting, including students, had been a tradition for him, explaining that he found great plesure in rendering such an assistance.

The vice-chancellor, Professor Abdul-Rasheed Na'Allah, expressed gratitude for Haladu's gesture, saying that more of such help was needed from other well meaning people in the country.
N'Allah said, "Students who are fasting will benefit a lot from this gesture in this Holy month of Ramadan. We are always eager to have private people and other stakeholders contribute to helping us develop our institution.
This is a demonstration of what we believe as a University: that we cannot do it alone, and so we have to reach out to caring people including even our former students to come to our aid."
