Musa praised the Governor’s efforts, stating, “These measures are not only bold but unprecedented in the recent history of the university. The management commends His Excellency for his extraordinary sensitivity to the plight of students, the condition of education, and the welfare of academic and non-academic staff.

Musa commended Sani for demonstrating “deep sensitivity to the long-standing challenges faced by university staff—many of which date back over a decade and were inherited from previous administrations.”
