The vice chancellor highlighted some of the achievements through the government's support for the university, including the conversion of the former Daula Hotel land into a state-of-the-art ADUSTECH City Campus, the installation of fibre optics-based internet, and campus-wide internet access to enhance digital learning and research.
Others are the upgrade and installation of cutting-edge equipment at the central research laboratory to foster innovation and discovery, as well as the provision of financial support for the accreditation of 24 programmes.
He said that the management, through government support, had renovated and expanded facilities, including student hostels and administrative buildings, installed solar-powered streetlights, and provided subsidised transport services for the university community.
On the issue of welfare, the vice chancellor said that staff members were promoted and that their hazard allowance and other entitlements were being paid promptly in appreciation of their hard work and dedication to duty.
Yakasai also noted that the university had signed several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with private and public institutions for partnerships and sponsorships, thereby promoting collaboration and growth.
The VC, therefore, said that, given theachievements, the ADUSTECH community congratulated Gov. Yusuf on his first year in office and looked forward to the continuation of the success story.
