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.

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 istration 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.

Jagaban the Northern slayer

There's no region in the entire South that 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 (Almighty) 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

Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria almost doesn't it indegenes of Southern Kaduna except the candidate is extra ordinarily brilliant or well connected.
These are the same people El Rufai marginalised and let killer Fulani herdsmen dealth with for 8 good years.
Tinubu you do this one.
Congratulations to Southern Kaduna indegenes.

They're even more secured now than they ever were.

“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”.

You know more than their representatives who asked for the institution. Lazy ipobian yoot.

Something good is finally being said about the Southern Kaduna.

Those guys have suffered in the hands of the Islamic government of Kaduna

Bulaba i throway salute for you.

Are you sure you know Ahmadu Bello University?
There are tons of below par students without connection studying engineering and every single course in ABU from Southern Kaduna, this contradicts your story.
There are families from Southern Kaduna that both parents attended ABU, all children attended ABU, it's very very common in southern Kaduna, southern Kaduna Indigene will not agree to what u are saying unless that person is trying to be mischievous.

These kind of stories to paint other people in a bad light is not worth it, if you want to form stories, form stories that holds water at least.
People from a particular region are the ones who always make claims like this about other people and region.

Are you okay?

Where were you when Northerners were championing his election?

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

No BATIST should attack Northerners 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

Alaye go and sit down

They were with him because they thought they will be able to manipulate his government.

Their was never geniune

Do you know howmuch tinubu spent to buy their ?. Starting from primaries

It doesn't end there, he still spent huge amount on INEC.

Tinubu knows how he got there that's why he don't send them again.

Good news for Southern kaduna people... Some things dey stop nonsense oh... Ever since he made a southern kaduna man chief of defence staff... We no dey hear of massacre again for dat region....

They want to provide fresh undergraduates for bandits to kidnap, abi?

Why would anyone send their kid(s) to a warzone?

At this rate even Peter Obi doesn't understand the complexity of Tinubu's dynamism.
Peter Obi would have wrecked Nigeria by now if he had won 2023 election

Yoruba would vote Tinubu 10x.
Reason they were cold about him in 2023 election was because of his choice for a vice president that Yoruba people detested so much.
No reasonable Yoruba would want a man with such obscure political history to partner with Tinubu especially when his health didn't give assurance they were not going to pocket him

Provide security first
