We extend our appreciation to President Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Governor Rev. Fr. H.I. Alia, Host Executive Caretaker Chairman Hon. Fred Oketa, and Chief John Eyimonye for their commitment to development.

Special acknowledgment goes to former Senate President Senator David Bonaventure Alechenu Mark for his efforts in establishing the university and securing an indigenous Vice Chancellor, Professor Innocent Ao Ujah. We urge the aggrieved persons in Otukpo LGA to embrace this historic opportunity and support the university's growth.
We appeal for understanding and tolerance in the host community, emphasizing the university's role as a hub for Zone C. We stand in solidarity with Professor Ujah and condemn any attempts to undermine his leadership. Let us unite for progress and prosperity in Benue State.
