“Uplifting the institution to an international standard will not only make the institution competitive but will also create an avenue for foreigners to study in the institution.

“It is only when an institution is uplifted to an international or world standard, that parents, foreigners and other stakeholders will have confidence in that institution,’’ the vice-chancellor said.

Bala-Mohammed noted that he was determined to give premium to the welfare of staff and students of the institution.

He, however, called on the students to shun all social vices and to be hard working in order to excel in their academic pursuit.
