The Vice-Chancellor of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Professor Sa’adatu Hassan Liman, has revealed that the University has successfully cleared liabilities exceeding ₦2 billion through internal reforms and prudent financial management.
Professor Liman made the disclosure while presenting the report of the Joint State Government and University Committee on NSUK Liabilities to the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer Abdullahi A. Sule. She noted that the cleared liabilities included gratuities, earned allowances, statutory deductions, severance packages, and academic advancement support.
Highlighting the University’s financial turnaround, Professor Liman stated that Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) rose from ₦5 billion in 2024 to over ₦7 billion in 2025, attributing the growth to the elimination of financial leakages and strict fiscal discipline. She also commended the State Government’s support, which facilitated successful negotiations between the University management and the Joint Action Congress (JAC), resulting in salary increments of 25% and 35% for staff and the implementation of the ₦70,000 National Minimum Wage.
Deputy Governor Dr. Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe, Chairman of the Committee, explained that the panel was established following NSUK’s request for government intervention over financial challenges. He noted that the Committee met over ten times between September 2024 and August 2025 to develop actionable recommendations for the University’s financial sustainability.
Governor Sule expressed appreciation for the Committee’s diligence, assuring that the report would be carefully reviewed for consideration and implementation.
The Committee comprised key state and university officials, including the Vice-Chancellor, Commissioners for Education, Finance, Budget and Economic Planning, the State Accountant-General, the Executive Chairman of NSIRS, the University Bursar, and the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, among others.
The report underscores NSUK’s commitment to financial transparency, staff welfare, and sustainable institutional growth.
