Zamfara state Governor, Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) has been honoured by the Institute of Science, Administration and Commercial Studies (Bassabi Kagbara University) and names the English Campus building of the University after him.
At a brief Ceremony in the City of Lome, the University cited the achievements of Governor Matawalle, including sponsorship of indigenous students abroad for undergraduate studies as reasons for recognising him by the University
The Registrar of the University, Dr Mensah Jean-Hermann, said a lot of Nigerian students were studying various courses in the University and expressed the hope that better mutual academic relationship will be built between the University and Zamfara State.
The University is among the leading Universities in the region and has existed for more than three decades. It is being patronized by students from across the African Countries and beyond.
Governor Matawalle commissioned the building named after him and promised to ensure that befitting and benefitting relationship is mutually developed between the University and Zamfara state.
He observed that, “If we can sponsor our students in far away European and Asian countries, what will stop us from building a synergy among African Countries through the academia?”
He took some time to confer with Nigerian students studying at the University where he urged them to continue exhibiting good behaviour as they are ambassadors of the Country in Togo.
