The Vice-Chancellor of Gombe State University, Professor Sani Ahmed Yauta, has inspected ongoing projects at the clinical arm of the University’s College of Medical Sciences as part of efforts to ensure timely completion and adherence to quality standards.
The projects inspected include the construction of new laboratories and a student hostel designed to strengthen teaching, research, and accommodation facilities within the College.
According to a statement issued by the Public Relations Office of the University and signed by Hadu N. Ligari, the Vice-Chancellor during the visit urged the contractor to strictly adhere to the approved project timelines while maintaining the required standards and specifications.
Professor Yauta emphasized that the projects are critical to the University’s academic development, noting that their completion will significantly enhance teaching, research activities, and student welfare within the clinical arm of the College of Medical Sciences.
