ReplyDeleteCongratulations adamawa state university mubi, my former university I'm proud to be allumina of said university, commending the acting v c. But also plead with the university authority to look into the matter of convocation. It is also another standard of national universities commission,that a university must mattriculate and convocate to complete all it's requirement. Personally, I graduated from 2012 till date no convocation,so it's become a challenge.
ReplyDeleteShe has done well but she also need to tackle the issue of under staff facing a lot of Departments within the institution in other to make her administration complete.
