President Bola Tinubu has said that no nation could thrive without deliberate investment in its youths.<\/p>\n

According to the President, who was represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Sa\u2019id-Ahmad, Nigerians should not lack quality education due to financial limitations.<\/p>\n

Tinubu\u00a0made the disclosure at the 34th Convocation ceremony and 43rd Founders Day of the Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The President noted that over the past 43 years, the university had distinguished itself as a centre of excellence in science, engineering innovation and applied research.<\/p>\n

He said that the administration has expanded access to education through targeted infrastructure investments and the implementation of the student loan scheme.<\/p>\n

Prof. Farouk Kuta, Vice-Chancellor of the University, said the ceremony stands as a powerful affirmation of the university community.<\/p>\n

He said the community was defined by resilience, creativity, and unwavering dedication to the advancement of knowledge and service to humanity.<\/p>\n

Kuta said that the past year recorded exceptional progress, as the university ranked the seventh best university in Nigeria and emerged as the highest ranked specialised university.<\/p>\n

He said that the university ranked among the top 10 best in Nigeria and 68th in Africa.<\/p>\n

He noted that the strategic expansion of the institution was a decisive step toward fulfilling its mandate as a technology-driven university committed to solving societal challenges.<\/p>\n

This, he added, was particularly in the area of training of healthcare professionals and medical technologists in the country.<\/p>\n

He stated that the institution remained committed to the merit and welfare of both academic and non-academic staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 146 senior non-teaching staff and 110 junior staff were promoted, while the appointments of 22 staff were confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201dAlso, in creating an enabling environment, the school clinic and sports complex were renovated,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The V-C urged the graduates to mark their transition from learners to alumni and solution providers.<\/p>\n

The institution\u2019s Pro- Chancellor and Chairman of the governing council, Dr Mohammed Santuraki, commended the President on his reforms in enhancing steady progress.<\/p>\n

He said he aligns with the Tinubu administration in ensuring national growth.<\/p>\n

Santuraki also appreciated Gov. Umar Bago of Niger for donating N100 million towards the construction of a female hostel for medical students.<\/p>\n

He also appreciated the visionary leadership of the V-C\u2019s prudent management of resources, while urging the graduating students to be good ambassadors of the University in their careers.<\/p>\n

The overall best graduating student from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Koter Oluwadamilola, said the moment was a testament to perseverance, faith, and unity that carried them through the journey.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the institution graduated 5,297 students for the 2024\/2025 academic session.<\/p>\n
