Kogi varsity commences academic activities
The newly established Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH), Osara in Kogi on Monday commenced academic activities, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Salawu Sadiku, said this shortly after the Kogi State government formally handed over the newly constructed and renovated facilities to the university’s management in Osara.
He commended the state governor, Alh. Yahaya Bello, and the commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Wemi Jones, for their commitment to the realisation of the project.
“We are very happy for the facilities handed over to us, most of which have been completed, while some are at an advanced stage of completion.
“In line with the directive of His Excellency, we would now map out our strategies and do all the plannings required to complete the remaining jobs or to add value to whatsoever you have given us today,” Sadiku said.
The VC noted that coincidentally, the handover of the facilities marked the beginning of the registration of students that had been offered admission as pioneer students of CUSTECH.
