The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Musa Yakasai,
disclosed this while speaking to newsmen in Wudil on Wednesday.
He said that the students were being trained in artisanal
skills, such as tailoring, hairdressing, soap making, and welding, among
others.
He said that the programme was aimed at equipping students
with multiple entrepreneurial skills while undergoing their normal academic
programmes.
The vice chancellor explained that the programme would help
the students to understand the theoretical concepts they learn in the
textbooks,“their real-life applications, life advancement opportunities, as
well as career equipping and preparatory knowledge for the future”.
According to him, the university’s management has also
created an avenue to engage students in menial job opportunities on the campus
to support their financial demands.
We are planning to make use of 17 acres of land for
irrigation and mechanised farming, which will enhance our revenue generation
drive and revenue base of the university.
“We have also formed a consultancy services unit, which will
be used for offering consultancy services to the general public, and at the
same time generating revenue for the institution,” the VC added.
