The Vice-Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU), Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, has appealed to alumni of
the university, particularly serving and former state governor to a.
ssist the university towards the celebration of its Golden Jubilee.
Mustapha made the appeal when he led members of the university's
management, on a visit to Kaduna State governor, Patrick Yakowa, to
intimate him of the university's state of preparations to host the
historic event.
Established in 1962, ABU will be 50 on October 4 and a committee has
been set up to draw up a befitting anniversary celebration, slated for
October 4 to November 24, 2012.
According to a statement, by the media aide to the vice-chancellor,
Waziri Gwantu, the vice-chancellor particularly seeks the support of
the university's alumni towards projects including rehabilitation of
all dilapidated roads in both the academic and residential areas of the
two campuses of the university estimated at the cost of N2 billion,
dredging of the university dam estimated at the cost of N7 billion,
including the cost of the water treatment plant; and the development of
the insbosomution's phase II project, which will require the
construction of a bridge and other major structures and infrastructure
such as road network, electricity and water.
He said the celebration which would be climaxed by a special
convocation ceremony, presentation of the 'Sir Ahmadu Bello Golden
Award' and wall of fame, was meant to showcase the university's
achievements, breakthroughs, honour past heroes and major supporters
and to also unveil its plans for the future.
The vice-chancellor urged Yakowa, who doubles both as an alumnus and
chief host of the university, to contact and mobilise serving and past
governors that pa. ssed through the university to come and participate
fully in the 50 anniversary by contributing generously for the
successful hosting of the event and the execution of vital projects
central in the future development of the university.
Mustapha disclosed that an appeal fund was also intended to be launched
to generate funds to execute projects in the university, saying alumnus
or stakeholders willing to take up projects at the insbosomution were
welcome to do so.OAU At 50 - VC Seeks Alumni as assistanceOAU At 50 - VC Seeks Alumni as assistanceOAU At 50 - VC Seeks Alumni as assistance
