Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has established a partnership with the authorities of the British Education Group, proprietors of Coventry University, Bouskoura, Morocco.
The governor, who led a delegation on a visit to the institution, was received by its founder, Mr. Nabeel Obaid, who took the team around on a comprehensive tour of the university’s various faculties.
He informed the delegation that since its inception in 2001, Coventry University has been delivering world-class British education, and awarding Bachelor’s, Master’s, and MBA degrees through its affiliation with Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Mr. Obaid also announced the decision of his institution to honor the Governor of Gombe State at a later date, in acknowledgment of his visionary approach and exceptional contributions to education.
In his remarks, Governor Inuwa Yahaya expressed gratitude to the university authorities for their warm reception and the opportunity to explore potential collaborations.
During the meeting, the Commissioner of Education, Associate Professor Aishatu Umar Maigari, and the Vice-Chancellor of Gombe State University, Professor Aliyu Usman Elnafaty, made compelling presentations, emphasizing the necessity of partnership and the potential benefits it could bring to the educational landscape of Gombe State.
The partnership will facilitate a student exchange programme, offer affordable courses with flexible payment options for students from Gombe State, and provide a choice of campuses and programmes tailored to the student’s preferences.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will soon be signed between the Gombe State government, through Gombe State University, and Coventry University to formalize this collaboration.
