In a bid to reinforce the reading and research culture at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sa’adatu Hassan Liman, has undertaken a study visit to a joint university library and an Environmental Engineering Laboratory during her official working tour of Poland.
The visit is in line with the University’s strategic goal of maintaining its leadership position in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) ranking, particularly Goal 4 – Quality Education.
Professor Liman visited the joint library operated by the University of Silesia and the University of Economics, both located in Katowice, where she examined the innovative model of shared academic resources and collaborative learning spaces. She observed that such partnerships could be effectively replicated in Nigeria through inter-university collaborations and joint project initiatives — thereby improving the accessibility and quality of educational and research resources nationwide.
“The joint-library model demonstrates how collaboration, rather than competition, can drive quality education. It’s a system that encourages shared knowledge, innovation, and efficiency — a model that can work in our universities,”
— Professor Sa’adatu Hassan Liman
The Vice-Chancellor also visited the University of Zielona Gora, where she toured the Environmental Engineering Laboratory, a facility established through robust industry–academia collaboration. The laboratory exemplifies how partnerships between universities and industries can yield practical solutions to environmental challenges while advancing research and innovation.
These strategic engagements reflect Professor Liman’s visionary leadership and her unwavering commitment to positioning NSUK as a research-driven institution anchored on innovation, academic excellence, and sustainable development. The University community remains optimistic that the insights gained from these visits will further enrich NSUK’s research output, strengthen its reading culture, and foster deeper academic linkages both locally and globally.
