FG confiscated Nok University in Kaduna, converts it to Federal University

President Bola Tinubu has directed the Federal Government to take over Nok University, Kachia, Kaduna State, and transform it into a federal university.

Vice President Kashim Shettima announced this during the formal handover of the institution’s property and assets to the Federal Government by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Following the President’s directive, which is coming after a Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the final forfeiture of the privately-owned NOK University to the Federal Government, the private institution is now named Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Kaduna State in fulfillment of a promise made to the people of Southern Kaduna.

Shettima said Tuesday’s event signifies the administration’s commitment to inclusivity and national development.

“This is a great day for the country and for Kaduna State. The greater credit should go to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for driving the process and making it the first item on the agenda of the Federal Executive Council.
