Federal varsity, Kwale: Close ranks to ensure smooth take-off, Omo-Agege charges stakeholders

Speaking during the visit, Omo-Agege said: “The only counsel I will give is this: it requires a lot of cooperation among the stakeholders of Ndokwa/Ukwuani ethnic nationality. I know a lot will be required of you. It requires cooperation and that will also include you providing land and you know being a federal institution, the NUC has its own requirements.

“They will need 100 hectares of land. Take this from me as the gospel: the Federal Government will not pay you a dime by way of compensation. So I don’t want anybody going to raise imaginary shrines and graves. You are going to provide 100 hectares of land without encumbrances. If you don’t have that, it will inhibit this thing going forward.

“An implementation committee will be set up by the Minister of Education. And it will include officials from the NUC. They will come and inspect. And when they come, they will expect you to give to them 100 hectares of land free from all encumbrances. And they are not paying a dime for it.

“In the interim, there is also the expectation that there will be cooperation with the local authorities and the state government to provide a temporary site to commence activities before the construction of the permanent site”.

“As we speak, I expect that in the next couple of days, we should be receiving a formal announcement in writing on the approval from Mr President and most importantly on the appointment of a management team that will head the institution”.

He expressed profound appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, for their roles in approving the establishment of the institution.
