Professor Gambari said the University is grappling with numerous challenges particularly financial problems due to the current economic situation in the country, and solicited the support of organizations and multinational companies as well as well meaning individuals to build the institution further.

In his speech, the Pro Chancellor of the Institution, Saidu Issa, appreciated the support of the state government and called for quick intervention to connect the University to the high tension sub-station at Sawmill as well as improve water services.
