Mr Wahab Owokoniran, Pro Chancellor and Chairman, Federal University of Transportation Daura (FUTD) says the institution will immortalise late President Muhammadu Buhari by surpassing his expectations.
This is contained in a tribute by Owokoniran, a former chairman of Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos state, to Buhari on Tuesday in Lagos.
Owokoniran, an APC chieftain and former secretary of the PDP in Lagos state said, “The challenge is particularly to surpass Buhari’s expectations and make the institution an international pride as a mark of immortalising the heroic contributions of the late president to Education and progressive leadership.
“As chairman of governing council of the university, all best efforts possible shall be deployed into the institution to attain the standard and productivity as envisaged by its establishment.”
He noted that the sudden death of the former president came as a big shock to the town of Daura, the governing council, members of staff and students of FUT Daura, the hometown of the late symbol of exemplary leadership.
“Daura is the community that hosts a foremost specialised university in the country.
“The immense contributions of the late former president from his days as military officer and head of state to being a politician and civilian president, cannot be quantified.
“He stood out as a symbol of selfless leadership and no doubt, had passed on as great hero of positive leadership.
“We have no doubt that the late president’s goodwill resonates in the acceptance of the specialised university by the Daura
