THE Vice Chancellor of Kwara State University (KWASU), Professor Abdul-Rasheed Na'Allah, has said that the institution is set to receive President Goodluck Jonathan, who is expected to commission the newly established university next Tuesday.

Na'Allah, who stated this during a press briefing in his office at Malete Campus of the university in Moro Local Government Area of the state, also noted that President Jonathan would be amazed to see a first class university in the state.

According to him, the university's rapid development will be showcased to tell Nigerians that such institutions can contribute to the growth and development of the country.

He said the university and all other universities alike had no option than to see themselves as an agent of change in the country.

The Vice Chancellor, who attributed lack of fund to be the impediment that delayed the smooth take off of the other campuses of the university in Kwara South and Kwara North, respectively, also said the university was exploring other avenues to be able to raise fund to begin the other campuses as soon as possible.

He said the university decided to take up gradually in order to ensure that the quality of their graduands is not compromised.

He disclosed that the main aim was to ensure that all students that graduate from the university are up to standard and can compete favourably in any part of the world they may find themselves.
