<\/p>\n
The Governor spoke after signing into law the bill for the establishment of Kogi University, Kabba, which was passed by the state House of Assembly on Thursday<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe Master Plan is very ready and God\u2019s grace, my administration will, on Monday, submit it to the National University Commission as a full fledged university for approval and recognition<\/p>\n
\u201cThe College of Education Technical, Kabba, which is the site for the KSU, will be relocated to Yagba Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis feat of establishing a third University for our state is indeed a generational ambition for Okunland and Kogi West in general.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am particularly so glad that this feat is achieved in my own time after several efforts by past leaders from Okunland,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\nBello explained that the siting of the university in Kabba, was in compliance with his principle of fairness, equity and justice to all.<\/p>\n
He expressed optimism that with the Kogi State University Kabba now in place, \u201cour children seeking admission will no more suffer admission challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to Bello, since his assumption of office \u201cI don\u2019t take issues of education lightly, especially the inherited workers strike at the Prince Abubakar Audu University, Ayingba, which I amicably resolved\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nThe governor added that since he solved the dispute, seven years down the line, that university and other tertiary institutions have not witnessed any strike action till date.<\/p>\n
He argued that no society could develop without peace and security, and assured his administration\u2019s resolve and readiness to rid the state of crimes and criminalities to give room for growth and development.<\/p>\n
\u201cKogi State is no longer safe for kidnappers, their sponsors and sympathisers as well as for those aiding or abetting any form of crime and criminality,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
KSU Kabba is the second university Bello established, with the first being Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH), Okene.<\/p>\n
