President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of a federal university in Southern Kaduna, marking a significant step towards addressing educational and developmental needs in the region, News360 Nigeria reports.

Vice President Kashim Shettima, who revealed this, also disclosed that there are ongoing discussions to establish a Federal Medical Centre in Kafanchan, Kaduna State.

Shettima gave the hint at the weekend during a condolence visit to the Kukah family on the death of His Highness, Yohanna Sidi Kukah, the Agwom Akulu of Ikulu Chiefdom and family member of Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, in Ikulu Kingdom, Kamuru, Zangon Kataf council area of Kaduna State.

According to a statement issued on Monday by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said: “with Senator Katung and the member of the House of Representatives, we have reached out to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and he has consented to the establishment of a federal university in Southern Kaduna”.

Speaking at the residence of the late traditional ruler, the Vice President emphasized the commitment of the President Tinubu administration to the development of Southern Kaduna, citing the appointment of General Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff as evidence of the President’s attention to the security needs of the region.

“Be rest assured that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the people of Kaduna and the people of Southern Kaduna at heart,” he stated.

Shettima also commended Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, for his inclusive governance approach, stating that “government is about linking all component parts to have a sense of belonging.”

He pledged that the federal government will work with the state government to ensure development reaches Southern Kaduna, particularly in road infrastructure.

Earlier, Bishop Kukah expressed gratitude to the Vice President on behalf of the family over the visit, saying, “I want to thank you on behalf of this family. Thank you for being with us.

“You can see the nature of the place in which we live. It took you around three and a half hours to get here. The road is largely broken. I know you will remain a friend of this Ikulu nation and a friend of this community. We are honoured to have you,” he added.

There's no region in the entire South faces more marginalization than the people of Southern Kaduna. Any region from the south that tells you the contrary, is a big fat ipobic liar. Welcome to renewed hope, Southern Kaduna.



After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria.

Since you believe, after God (if such exist) na Tinubu, of course you can believe every stupid narrative

Their major concern at the moment is security not University, unless the plan is to see more victims to keep kidnapping and making more revenue

Are you okay?

Where were you when Northerners were championing his election?

Even Yorubas because of religion left Tinubu and supported Pandora Criminal Peter Obi.

No BATIST should attack Northern because when the coast wasn't clear, they're with him even when religious bigot among Yorubas left him not to talk of South South and the worse of it, South East
