Prof. Na’Allah to Third Estate: Attract Developmental
Projects, Research Grants to UNIABUJA
The newly-appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University of Abuja,
Professor Abdulrasheed Na’Allah, has pleaded with members of the
Third Estate, a prominent socio-cultural group in Kwara State, to
use their influential clouts to attract scholarship offers,
training opportunities, developmental projects and services,
partnership programmes, and sponsorship of research proposals,
among others, to UNIABUJA.
He gave the plea, while hosting a delegation of the Third Estate
who paid him a congratulatory visit at the institution, stressing
that their tremendous supports will contribute to the development
of the school.
Na’Allah expressed gratitude to Third Estate’s executive
officials and other members of the group for the massive support
they gave him as VC of Kwara State University (KWASU), which he
said contributed enormously to the successes recorded under his
tenure.
“I want to thank you all for the outpour of affectionate
goodwill, and every other thing you selflessly gave me as KWASU VC.
This August visit by members of your development-oriented
association, has assured me of your encouragement, invaluable
support and genuine prayers as UNIABUJA Vice-Chancellor,” he
added.
Third Estate’s President, Mallam Ahmed Bolaji Nagode, while
felicitating with Prof. Na’Allah, assured him of their group’s
consistent prayer, advice and support at all times.
“The appointment into this exalted position is indeed richly and
eminently deserved in view of your background and reputation as an
acclaimed international scholar and enviable track record as a
university administrator of distinction. As the founding
Vice-Chancellor of the Kwara State University, Malete, you laid a
solid foundation for the growth of a world-class university and
nurtured a sustainable academic tradition of excellence in learning
and research,” he said.
The Third Estate’s President added: “That you have been found
worthy of appointment as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Abuja
is a reward for excellence and a confirmation of the saying that a
golden fish has no hiding place. With the precious experience you
have garnered in KWASU, I have no doubt in my mind that you will
excel in this new position to the glory of the Almighty Allah and
pride of our Ilorin community.”
