The Vice Chancellor of Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), Professor Fatimah Tahir, has attributed the giant strides being recorded in University to support from the Bauchi State Government under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed.

Tahir stated that the support from Mohammed’s administration has been instrumental to the progress and success of the state-owned university towards achieving academic excellence.

She made the remark during the official launching of Career Service Centre, Entrepreneurship Development Centre and Commissioning of 500KVA Generator at Yuli Campus of the university.

The Vice Chancellor while delivering her welcome address, recalled the numerous support of the state government which helped towards ensuring effective and efficient service delivery.

“Let me first extend our deepest appreciation to His Excellency, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed (Kauran Bauchi), Executive Governor of Bauchi State and our Visitor, for his strategic leadership, enduring support, and unflinching commitment to the progress of this University,” Tahir stated.

“His investment in education continues to inspire the direction and depth of our institutional growth.

She disclosed that the 500KVA Generator is fully financed by the University, which reinforces its drive for operational resilience, disclosing that it will ensure stable electricity supply in Yuli Campus across essential academic and administrative units—fostering productivity, research, and digital connectivity.

It will be recalled that recently, the state-owned University has received a financial boost from the Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed, which helped in addressing most of the institution’s financial challenges, and repositioned the university to effectively compete with its counterparts across Nigeria.

The governor also invested in the institution’s infrastructure through construction of five major roads within the main campus in Gadau, a development which enhanced accessibility, improved convenience, and created a more conducive learning environment for teaching, learning and research.

The VC therefore reaffirmed the university’s commitment to provide excellent services in line with the mission of Governor Bala Mohammed for quality and sound education
