💬 “A Pivotal Moment in Our Journey” – VC Prof. Fatimah Tahir
While unveiling the projects, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Fatimah Tahir, described the development as a defining moment in the university’s evolution:
“These centres are not just for our students—they will benefit staff, the university community, and even our neighbouring communities. This is part of our steady progress toward becoming a true centre of excellence in scholarship.”
She noted that the Career Service Centre and Entrepreneurship Development Centre were fully funded by TETFund, while the 500KVA generator was provided by the university itself. She expressed appreciation to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) for its continued support.
🙏 Appreciation to the Bauchi State Governor
Prof. Tahir also praised the unwavering support of His Excellency, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed (Kauran Daular Usmaniyyah), Executive Governor of Bauchi State and Visitor to the university.
“His strategic leadership and investment in education continue to inspire our direction and growth,” she said.
🎯 Career & Entrepreneurship Centres to Equip Future Leaders
The newly launched centres are designed to empower students and graduates with practical skills and opportunities.
Dr. Wasilu Suleiman, Director of the Human Resources and Career Development Centre, said the centre will:
- Equip students and alumni with relevant career skills
- Provide access to employment and internship opportunities
- Serve as a hub for career empowerment
On his part, Dr. Salisu Ibrahim Waziri, Director of the Entrepreneurship Development Centre, outlined two major areas of focus:
- Skills acquisition and vocational training
- Mindset development to encourage entrepreneurship
He emphasized that the goal is to bridge the gap between labour market demand and supply, and produce job creators, not just job seekers.
🔌 Powering Progress: 500KVA Generator Commissioned
To ensure uninterrupted academic and administrative activities, a 500KVA generator was also commissioned at the Yuli Campus. The investment reflects SAZU’s commitment to providing a conducive learning environment.
