Speaking during the handing-over and taking-over ceremony in Gusau on Tuesday, the new VC said he plans to continue and build on the successes achieved by his predecessor, Abubakar.

“I look forward to working with all segments of the university.
“We will continue partnering with all stakeholders, especially the Zamfara Government, traditional institutions, and our host community,” he explained.
