Sununu called the campus’s opening—which aims to improve everyone’s access to education—in keeping with President Bola Tinubu’s eight-point agenda and advised both the university’s administration and potential students to make good use of the amenities offered.

“This centre has more slots available, and access to education will be provided because it is possible to operate from your community, especially for those who choose to pursue further education. We want to make sure that, as the Federal Ministry of Education, we fully adhere to President Tinubu’s eight-point plan,” he stated.

The minister promised that the government would make sure its certification is one to be respected and proud of.

Similarly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Tajudeen Abbas, stated that the university’s programmes would give young people and adults the knowledge and abilities they need to succeed in the cutthroat world of today.
