During the visit, the delegation toured the university’s facilities and commended the acting Vice-Chancellor, for his exemplary leadership and described Gombe State university as one of the most beautiful and outstanding institutions in the North-East region.

Responding, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Yauta, thanked the NANS leadership for the visit, their commendations, and their show of solidarity.
