For along time now work on the permanent site of Katsina State University (KSU) has stalled as few labourers hang around the uncompleted structures. Only road construction appear to be going on. And the obvious reason is lack of funding. If only they awarded the entire contract to Julius Berger ........and not these mushroom local contractors. The leaking state House of Assembly should have informed them of futility in giving local contractors such a huge project. Picture left shows the main Administrative block looking empty and deserted. Note the time it was snapped by clicking to enlarge.

Lecturers recruited from other universities may also be preparing for their return journey to their original schools as KSU authorities continue to renege on their promises. The bait of further training overseas actually attracted these people in the first place, but now the authorities are talking about University of Ibadan as the destination for all. The talk of linkage to an Indian University is now a mirage. Likewise other incentives and motivations.

Are we doomed to scuttle every opportunity that lands on our laps as a people? Why should the selfishness of few continue to be tolerated by the majority?
