He verbalized, “Universities must drive pertinence by perpetually addressing and proffering solutions to the challenges of the day like Boko Haram insurgency and all the associated challenges, through excruciating discourse, debates and solution-finding workshops.
“Universities do not just subsist to edify and graduate students, but rather to provide a platform for rigorous astute discourse that aims at providing solutions to societal quandaries and to define values and inspire research.”
