Jonathan to visit Kwara next Tuesday
President Goodluck Jonathan will next Tuesday commission the Kwara State University (KWASU), its Vice-Chancellor Prof. AbdulRasheed Na’Allah has said.
Prof Na’Allah spoke with reporters yesterday at the university’s campus.
He said government must put in place the necessary machinery to forestall a reoccurrence of such killings.
He also commended Jonathan for compensating families of youth corps members killed in the North.
The vice chancellor said: "The violence was uncalled for. It is sad. It is barbaric and a sad story for Nigeria. The security networks should be solid enough to protect the people of Nigeria.
"Though demonstrators must be allowed to ventilate grievances, but that must never be allowed to turn violent."
He commended President Jonathan for supporting the deceased youth corps members’ families with a compensation of N5 million each.
The university, initiated by the Governor Bukola Saraki administration, is located in Moro Local Government Area in the Northern axis of the state. It commenced academic session in 2010.
The vice chancellor said that the institution will use the opportunity of the President’s visit, to sell the new university to the entire world.
His words: "We want the President to know that we have a world-class university here. We want Nigerians to begin to regard university as agents of development at the grassroots. Through his visit, the world will know about KWASU. It will attract attention to us."
He said arrangements had been concluded to make the president’s visit an historic one.
