Bishop Matthew Kukah has described the establishment of the Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia (FUASK), Kaduna State, as God’s instrument for driving growth and development in the state.

Kukah made this assertion on Friday in Abuja during the inauguration of the university’s Governing Council and Principal Officers.

The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, presided over the inauguration, appointing Kukah as the Chairman of the Governing Council.

In his remarks, Kukah stated: “The establishment of this university is a realisation of God’s intervention.

“Nigeria may have its own challenges and will continue to have them.

“But I can assure you, Mr Minister, that 60 per cent of the problems in Southern Kaduna have now been solved with the establishment of this university.

“We will not look back—because if God wanted us to, He would have given us an eye at the back of our heads.

“We hold no bitterness. Despite everything, we remain one of the most educated regions in Northern Nigeria.

“Today, Southern Kaduna has no fewer than 200 professors.

“The education we have received, which has brought us this far, is the same education that I personally benefited from, thanks to the missionaries.

“By locating this University of Applied Sciences here, you have given us the tools we need to move forward,” he said.
