Speaking at the inauguration of the equipment at the main campus of the institution at Gidan Kwano, Kuta , he disclosed that the university had obtained the upgraded (7.5 MVA) transformer through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund )’s merged annual interventions to the university for years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
