Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has expressed his strong support for Senator Sunday Marshall Katung’s initiative to establish a Federal University of Applied Sciences in Manchok, in southern Kaduna.
Senator Katung, representing Kaduna-South Senatorial District has sponsored a bill for the university, which has successfully passed through a public hearing and is awaiting a third reading and subsequent passage. Governor Sani shared that upon learning about Senator Katung’s efforts, he and his administration offered their full support, recognizing the significant educational and developmental benefits such a university would bring to southern Kaduna.
Governor Sani made these remarks on Thursday during the flag-off ceremony for the reconstruction of the 21.95KM Madauchi-Madakiya-Kafanchan road at Tsoriyang, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area.
Highlighting the importance of collaboration, Governor Sani urged lawmakers from Kaduna State to work together for the state’s advancement. Drawing from his experience as a member of the 9th Assembly, he emphasized the advantages of legislative unity.
“Let me call on the lawmakers from Kaduna State, both at the National and the State Assembly, to join hands and cooperate on ways to develop and move Kaduna State forward. I was once a lawmaker in the Senate, and I witnessed the dedication of our lawmakers, both in the Senate and the House of Representatives, including those in the State Assembly. I want to assure you that I want to see the establishment of the Federal University in Southern Kaduna,” he stated.
Governor Sani underscored his personal interest in seeing the university established, extending his gratitude to Senator Katung for his efforts. He noted that the establishment of the university would benefit the youth across the entire state.
“In fact, I am one of the people interested in seeing the university established in this zone. This is why, when Senator Sunday Marshall Katung made the move for the establishment of the Federal University of Applied Sciences, we supported him wholeheartedly because we also want to see the establishment of such a university in Southern Kaduna,” he said.
The Governor also praised other lawmakers from Kaduna State for their dedication and urged continued support for their initiatives.
“If the university is established, it’s our youth that will benefit, not only from Southern Kaduna but across the state. Therefore, I am extending my appreciation to Senator Katung, and other lawmakers in the House of Representatives who are really trying. In fact, I can tell you that I don’t think there are lawmakers as dedicated as those from Kaduna State. Therefore, there is a need to support them,” Governor Sani concluded.
