The Vice-Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Prof. Sulyman Abdulkareem has admonished the newly appointed Vice-Chancellor of Al-Hikmah University, Prof. Noah Yusuf to jealously guide his integrity in attempt to create a niche for his university.
Prof Abdulkareem said this while playing host to the new V-C of Al-Hikmah University in his office.
"You are to ensure that you did nothing that would tarnish your reputation while in office.
"Everything you embark on must be within the regulation and resources available.
"Seek ventures that will yield profits and advise your investors where to put their money.
"You are to advise the management properly. You are lucky to be leading an institution where the people can be mobilised to get things done,” he said.
Prof.Yusuf, had on Monday led his management team on a courtesy visit to the Vice Chancellor of Unilorin. Yusuf described Unilorin as one of the foremost Nigeria universities whose achievements were worthy of emulation.
Yusuf, who described Unilorin as a mother to Al-Hikmah University, stated that he and his team were at Unilorin to understudy the university.
“My visit is to understudy Unilorin so that it will help my administration as well as learn from the wealth of experience and successes of Unilorin and even improve on it where possible".
He also led his management team on a visit to the Technical Entrepreneurial Centre of Unilorin, where he said the visit had challenged Al-Hikmah University to take advantage of its vantage location of being in the heart of Ilorin to engage in commercially-viable businesses in the university and its environs.
In his words, “We have customers outside our campus. We are here to see what we can copy and improve upon to help the revenue generation of our institution and improve our academic infrastructure,” he said. Yusuf commended the Unilorin Vice-Chancellor for his support and fatherly role. He promised that Al-Hikmah would continue to visit Unilorin for quality counsel from time to time.
Earlier, Prof. Abdulkareem congratulated Yusuf on his appointment as Al-Hikmah Vice-Chancellor wishing him a successful tenure. He urged Yusuf to sustain the good name of Al-Hikmah University.
