“Government Technical College Mopa is situated in a very big plane land that will be able to accommodate the University. Already, we have structures all over the place and those structures will serve as take off before constructing new ones.
“Mopa has produced a governor, two deputy governors, senator, House of Representative member and Speaker of the state Assembly. I think Mopa deserves an institution and if governor Bello can site the institution in Mopa land the people of Mopa will be very grateful,” he said.
