In a landmark display of student-led developmental initiative, the Vice-Chancellor of Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU), Professor Salisu Usman Ogbo, officially commissioned a modern 60-capacity relaxation centre at the Faculty of Education on Thursday, February 26, 2026.

The facility, constructed by the Comrade Rilwan Abubakar Obaje-led Students Union Government (SUG), was named in honour of the institution’s former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Marietu Tenuche Ohunene, recognizing her contributions to the university’s growth.
