According
to NIMASA, “This assertion is far from the truth and it has become
necessary to clarify the issue as the federal government is committed to
the actualisation of the project which the agency conceived. It is pertinent to note that NIMASA is supporting every aspect of the law in its determination to fulfill its obligations.
“In
addition, the National Assembly recently held a public hearing on the
matter and it is expected that the funding of the institution and other
aspects of running it will be specified in the Act setting up the
university.
“For the
avoidance of doubt, at no time did the Director General, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, say anything contrary to the federal government’s position on
the issue and we solidly stand behind the federal government on its
determination to actualise the project.
It added that the benefits derivable from the setting up of the institution would be quite numerous.
“Apart from
becoming a citadel for knowledge and development of human capital, job
opportunities will be created to the Nigerian people, particularly the
community, “it stated.
