Tinubu Converts Nok University to Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the immediate transformation of Nok University, Kachia, into a Federal University of Applied Sciences following a Federal High Court ruling that led to the final forfeiture of the institution to the federal government.

The formal handover of the university’s assets to the government took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where Vice President Kashim Shettima described the move as a demonstration of the istration’s commitment to national development and inclusivity.

University to Begin Operations in 2025

Vice President Shettima assured that the newly established Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, would begin academic operations immediately, with provisions to be made for its inclusion in the 2025 federal budget and plans to it its first students by September 2025.

He also reiterated the government’s commitment to infrastructure development in Southern Kaduna, highlighting the ongoing road construction efforts led by Governor Uba Sani.

Key Figures Laud Tinubu’s Decision

Governor Uba Sani hailed the development as a historic milestone, thanking President Tinubu for making it a reality. He also commended Vice President Shettima for his unwavering in advancing the project.

Senator Sunday Katung, who had initially sponsored the bill for the university’s establishment, expressed gratitude to the president, emphasizing the long-awaited benefits the institution would bring to the people of Southern Kaduna.

Prominent figures such as General Martin Luther Agwai (rtd), Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, and Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, also lauded the conversion, noting its potential impact in enhancing education and fostering peace in the region.

EFCC Confirms Forfeiture of University’s Assets

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukayode, confirmed that the assets of Nok University, including academic buildings, a water factory, an international hotel, and an event center, have been permanently forfeited to the federal government. These assets will now be used for the newly established Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia.

The move is seen as part of President Tinubu’s broader efforts to expand educational opportunities and improve regional development in Southern Kaduna and across Nigeria.

The APC is being clever by half. A Southern Kaduna ex-Civil Servant embezzled money and built a private university, hotel and hostel. The EFCC made him forfeit the assets and the government is now claiming to have given Southern Kaduna a university, amid so much fanfare and deceit. Who is deceiving who?

Hell Rufai will be angry again because Southern Kaduna are his worst enemy according to the evil midget bitch but either he likes it or not the Uni have come to stay.

I'm sure Hell Rufai and his useless family will fire a shot again on Internet by hearing this.

I was Obi er in the last election but I m not regretting Tinubu's presidency.

And to some of you seeing no reason for the establishment of the uni in southern Kaduna, you are either ignorant of the marginalisation of minority tribes in the North by Hausa/Fulani like Hellrufai or you are just been wicked.

This man is winning this 2027 election already.
I know a couple of Obidients who were strong haters of Tinubu who now speak good of him.
One was recently talking about Wike(This person hates Wike to hell) and he finished with "politics aside, that Wike guy dey work, I hate the guy, but e dey work, give him his flowers.

By the way, I am talking about Obidients who have brain, not those ones running wild with sand in place of brain

This is one of the sand head people I was talking about...
They will say anything even if it makes them sound like donkeys,
A man stole money, does what he used the money to do matter? I stealing a crime or not?
Some of you are just sick in the head.
