The management of Federal University Dutsin-ma, FUDMA, Katsina State, has lauded the president of MAAUN Group of Universities, Prof. Adamu Gwarzo, for donating two ambulances and a 60-seater luxurious bus to the university.
The vice chancellor of the university, Prof. Ar’mayau Bichi, made the commendation when he led the management staff of the university on a “thank you visit” to Mr Gwarzo in Kano recently.
Mr Bichi, who expressed gratitude to Mr Gwarzo for his immeasurable support and assistance to FUDMA, said the visit was aimed at thanking him for the gesture, which he said was critical to enhancing teaching and learning in the institution.
While acknowledging the various contributions made by the entrepreneur-cum-philanthropist towards the development of the university, Mr Bichi called for collaboration between the two institutions.
He expressed hope that the gesture will continue to cement the existing cordial relationship between the two universities.
During the visit, Mr Bichi presented letter of appreciation to Mr Gwarzo on behalf of the Senate, management staff, and students of FUDMA.
In his remarks, Mr Gwarzo stressed the need for individuals to make a lasting impact and ensure that their achievements are recognised even after they are gone.
He reaffirmed his commitment to improving education in Northern Nigeria by increasing the number of graduates and enhancing the quality of education.
He further emphasised the need for universities to focus on branding, reputation, and building a strong academic image so as to attract recognition and opportunities across the globe.
The founder of four universities also spoke at length on strategies for improving university rankings and securing grants for research projects.
He also highlighted the significance of visibility, collaboration with international institutions, and the impact of rankings on a university’s reputation.
While advocating for creating a conducive environment for intellectuals to thrive and contribute to the university’s advancement, Mr Gwarzo stressed the importance of universities creating their own pathways to success, rather than solely relying on government funding.
