On his achievements since assuming office four months ago, the Acting Vice Chancellor said he had been able to solve the perennial energy problem which had been bedeviling the institution over the years.
According to him, there was chaotic energy crisis resulting in power rationing, illegal connections, energy theft and irresponsible power usage but today the university has been able to grapple with it.
“Today, our inventiveness has seen not only a lasting solution of the crisis, we have gained deep insights into sustainable energy solutions for the future. The illegal connections, energy theft, irresponsible use and dereliction of duty that have sabotaged electricity supply in UNN have been diagnosed and cured to a very large extent,” he further added.
