The National Universities Commission, NUC, has granted recognition to the Borno State University with approval for the commencement of academic activities, Executive Secretary, Professor Adamu Abubakar Rasheed announced before Governor Kashim Shettima on Monday in Abuja.
With the approval, the Borno State University, a legacy of Governor Shettima’s administration, is free to begin recruitment of staff and admission of students which the Borno Government is planning for January 2017.
Governor Shettima was the NUC on Monday alongside a “powerful delegation” comprising Senators, members of House of Representatives, almost 50 professors who hail from Borno State, state lawmakers, elders and other stakeholders with a request for formal recognition of the State University by the NUC.
The NUC had sent different technical teams for assessment of physical infrastructure at the site of the Borno State University in Maiduguri. One of the teams led by the Director in charge of academic standards at the NUC was in Maiduguri last week for another inspection of infrastructure.
At the NUC’s auditorium where the Borno delegation was received, Governor Shettima told the Executive Secretary that the State Government has recorded tremendous progress in the physical development of the University as confirmed by assessment teams that visited the University.
