Speaking when he paid a visit to the school on Tuesday, Shekarau described as embarrassing the high number of uncompleted projects in the school.
“The number of abandoned projects in this institution is embarrassing for an institution of this nature; 12 projects abandoned? This culture has to stop. We would find out how all these came into being and see how the projects can be completed,” he stated.
But the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Michael Adikwu, said the projects would require N3bn to complete.
He urged the Federal Government to assist the institution to enable it to get accreditation for some courses on offer in the school.
In another development, the Federal Government has inaugurated the Nigerian Research Education Network, a project expected to serve as an interactive platform for teaching and learning between teachers and students within and outside the country.
Inaugurating the facility on Tuesday in Abuja, the minister of education said the project would improve monitoring and supervision of higher institutions in the country.
According to him, the platform will increase access to education as well as quality of education in the country.
He said, “This project has really proved to be a very good intervention in monitoring and supervision of tertiary education system, especially the university system. We are really making very good progress. For Nigeria to have this kind of networking with all institutions that we only see in advanced countries, it is also in line with the transformation agenda which focuses on increasing access and improving quality of education in the country.”
