The UniAbuja VC said his administration was determined to make a difference in the institution by carrying out various programmes aimed at developing the students, the university as well as the nation.
Speaking on the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities , ASUU, Prof. Na’Allah,appealed to the government to look into the needs of the nation’s universities, noting that it would be a grave error for the government to do otherwise.
According to him, the Chinese and Japanese governments became top economies of the world due to what he referred to as their “sustained investments in tertiary education.”
Advising the federal government to borrow a leaf from the two top economies of the world to enhance it’s learning infrastructure, Na’Allah said:“Government is making a big mistake for not supporting the university education in Nigeria.”
”No nation that wants to stand strong will neglect its university system.
”Look at China and Japan. Everyday, Japan is becoming a big economy, simply because of effective management of its resources
“We must contribute our own quota to the development of our own universities.”
