The Executive Director explained that the rehabilitation of the Kainji Dam Model at the Faculty of Engineering where engineering students conduct experiments would be completed by this month’s end.
Abdullahi stated that the company was also looking at other possible ways to support the institution as a citadel of learning.
He further said they were working on how they could assist students of the institution to come and work with the company.
The Executive Director, who appreciated the Vice-Chancellor and his team members for the visit, said the company valued the partnership they have with Ahmadu Bello University.
He also expressed satisfaction with the sensitization they had last in ABU where about 500 students attended.
