The Senator who advised political office holders to operate beyond political party affiliations to achieve profound results, expressed gratitude to the administrations of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani for the express approval for the establishment of Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia, Kaduna state.
