A former Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the Benue State University (BSU), Makurdi, Professor Akase Sorkaa, has decried the challenges of insecurity and inadequate funding facing the institution.
Sorkar made the observation at the weekend during a public lecture he delivered at the 30th-anniversary celebration of BSU.
While speaking on: “BSU @30: Enhancing Capacity Building and Quality Education for Sustainable National Growth”, Sorkar expressed worry that despite the achievements of the school since its existence, insecurity, inadequate funding and encroachment of its land by powerful and connected members of the community had remained a challenge.
He said, “BSU is facing inadequate resources, especially given the increase in population of students and staff.”
