The Vice Chancellor, who stated that the university is focused on academic programmes to strategically position their research and graduates to meet current and emerging challenges, noted that the CITN “will assist the university in linking the gown with the industry.

“We established the university-industry relation committee which among others, identifies industries within and outside the state for mutual interest between us and identified industries.”

“To us, we believe that it is only through proper, efficient and consistent education that we can surmount the onerous tasks that confront Nigeria as a nation. Using science and technology, we are concentrating on filling gaps in society which may impact on the quality of human lives. These programs will help our students to compete favourably with their peers around the world”, he added.
