As part of her ongoing familiarization tour, Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Patricia Manko Lar visited the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies at Yakubu Gowon University (formerly University of Abuja).
During her visit, Professor Lar stressed the importance of unity, innovative research, and discipline in achieving the institution's collective greatness.
"I am inspired by the speeches and the famous declaration of 'No Victor, no Vanquished' by General Yakubu Gowon," Professor Lar said. "We may differ in our faith, gender, ethnicity, and ideological views, but to achieve greatness, we must come together."
Professor Lar encouraged staff to uphold respect, love, and professionalism in their dealings with one another. She emphasized the University's strategic location in the Federal Capital Territory, which offers a unique opportunity to export its expertise to Africa and beyond.
The Acting Vice-Chancellor was accompanied by senior officials, including the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Professor Philip Afaha, and the Acting Registrar, Mrs. Islamiyat Abdulrahim. She was received by the Deans of the faculties visited, including Professor Abdulateef Bako and Professor Abdullahi Saleh Bashir.
Professor Lar is expected to continue her facility tour to the remaining 15 faculties of the University. Her appointment as Acting Vice-Chancellor was announced by President Bola Tinubu, as part of a series of leadership changes in federal universities .
