The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Sen. Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed (Binani) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the Modibbo Adama University bill into law.
Binani spoke through a statement in Abuja which was shared on her social media handles.
“It is heartwarming to note the gracious assent by Mr. President to this bill. Precisely on the 6th of January, 2021, Mr. President assented to the bill converting MAUTECH to a Conventional University and to also run Medical Programs alongside social and management sciences among others.
“This therefore means the university can now run all approved academic programs as any other conventional University across the country including medical and other allied sciences.
“On behalf of the good people of Adamawa and Taraba states, Mr. President we remain eternally grateful for this gesture.
“This will no doubt encourage our teeming youths seeking placements into Tertiary Institutions specifically in these difficult times.
“Apart from leading in technology, the new law will make Modibbo Adama University to be truly universal with broader courses and enhanced opportunities.”
