A new phase of educational development has begun in Adamawa State as Dr. Salihu Bakari Girei, Director of Research and Development at the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), on behalf of the Executive Secretary, Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari, inaugurated a mega project at the Adamawa State University (ADSU), Mubi.
The commissioning took place during the combined 16th, 17th, and 18th convocation ceremonies of the institution, attended by Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, and business magnate, Dr. Muhammadu Indimi.
Girei explained that the selection of ADSU for the project was intentional, describing it as a way of giving back to his home state.
He recalled his years as Executive Secretary of the Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board (ADSUBEB), where he earned a reputation as an “ambassador of education” through the construction and renovation of hundreds of schools across the state’s 21 local government areas.
He said having the TETFUND project sited in ADSU to be constructed within the specified period of time is typically of him to sustain the Education system at all levels of State.
He promised the people of Adamawa State to continue to do more and be looking at other opportunities to grab for the enhancement of school system and the overall development of the state.
Governor Fintiri, in his remarks, commended TETFUND for its commitment to supporting tertiary education and expressed appreciation to Dr. Girei for his dedication and passion for educational advancement in Adamawa State.
