The new Pro-chancellor of the Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, Dr Mohammed Santuraki, has pledged to turn around the fortunes of the institution. He said his wealth of experience as an education administrator would be deployed to ensure that the institution retains its pride of place. In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Minna, Santuraki said FUT, Minna would also maintain its academic excellence. ''FUT, Minna is one institution that has been a rallying point for not only people of Niger or the North but for all Nigerians. ''It is a microcosm of the country where youths are engaged in inventions, innovations and technology development with one common cause of realising the dream of a better Nigeria. 'Nigeria youth deserve to be encouraged to realise their full potential especially in a conducive educational environment,'' he said. NAN reports that President Bola Tinubu approved the appointment of Santuraki as the Pro Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing C ouncil of FUT, Minna a fortnight ago. He is a seasoned tertiary education administrator having served earlier in the same position at the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), the Niger University. Santuraki also served as the Vice Chairman of the Committee of Pro-chancellors of State-owned Universities in Nigeria. The new pro-chancellor said that the appointment of the new boards of tertiary institutions would accelerate the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu in the education sector. He said that the education sector of the country would be revitalised with a strong board comprising men and women with wealth of experience and passion to make positive changes.
