The Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, has secured a new international grant to further consolidate its leadership role in the Connected Learning for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (CL4STEM) project.

Speaking on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, Professor Mohammed Salihu Niworu at the official flag-off of the consolidation phase in Lapai, said the Institution had received fresh recognition as a nodal institution for the global initiative.

He noted that IBBUL’s performance in the earlier phases of the project earned commendation from IDRC and other global partners for its leadership, professionalism, and effective financial management.

Professor Suleiman explained that the CL4STEM project, supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, under the Global Partnership for Education’s Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, has made significant strides since its inception in 2021.

The project, he said, has successfully built the capacity of STEM teachers, introduced inclusive classroom practices, and strengthened collaboration among higher education institutions in Nigeria, Tanzania, Bhutan, and India.

While acknowledging challenges such as currency fluctuations and international fund transfers, the Vice Chancellor praised the resilience of the IBBU-led consortium in driving the project forward.

“IBBU and the team have shown leadership, professionalism, and full commitment. This new phase aims to consolidate the mainstreaming of the CL4STEM curriculum into pre-service teacher training and in-service teacher development. We are not expecting less from this team You have done it before and can do it even better,” he said.

The Project Lead Professor Tarjurdeen Mustapha explained that the CL4STEM project, funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, under the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, is aimed at building the capacity of pre-service and in-service teachers to deliver inclusive and high-quality STEM education.

He added that the project has been implemented since 2021 in Nigeria, Bhutan, Tanzania, and India, with IBBU serving as the consortium leader for the Nigerian cluster in partnership with Kaduna State University, Bayero University Kano, and the Niger State Teachers’ Professional Development Institute.

According to the project’s Lead, IBBU had already piloted and scaled the programme between 2021 and 2024, recording significant success in training teachers in Niger, Kaduna, and Kano States, as well as in-service teachers across other locations.

“This new grant provides us with the opportunity to consolidate our efforts by mainstreaming CL4STEM pedagogy, curriculum content, and digital teaching skills into teacher education programmes at IBBU and in Niger State,” he said.

He added that the initiative would also strengthen collaboration with the Niger State Teachers’ Professional Development Institute to train master trainers, cascade teaching innovations across the state, and integrate digital learning into classroom practice.

Earlier, Dr. Hussaini Majiya had introduced members of the CL4STEM global grant team and acknowledged the Project Oversight Team led by Professor Suleiman and other top Management Officers, alongside members of the Global Project Governance Team drawn from Bhutan, Tanzania, and India.

He also Highlighted the innovation behind the new phase, the Institution announced the introduction of “communities of practice” to mentor pre-service teachers virtually while on teaching practice.

This model, officials said, will ensure continuous feedback, lesson plan development, and real-time support from university educators.

Dr Majiya stated that CL4STEM project, which entered its consolidation phase in 2025, is expected to further institutionalize STEM teacher training in Nigeria and strengthen regional and global collaboration in education, adding that the partners include Samtse College of Education in Bhutan, Open University of Tanzania, and Tata Institute of Social Sciences in India.

In their Separate goodwill remarks, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), Professor Mohammed Aliyu Bello, Director Academic Planning Professor Kabir Mohammed Adamu, Coordinating Director of Research and Development, Professor Folorunso Alimi Lawal and Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, Director of ICT commended the resilience of the project team, pledging continued institutional support.

“IBBU has demonstrated excellence in leading this global collaboration. We will sustain this commitment to ensure our teachers and students benefit maximally”.

“This project is a clear testimony to how partnerships can drive educational innovation. We are confident of greater impact in this consolidation phase.”

In his closing remarks, The Registrar, Alhaji Idris Saleh Kusherki, assured the team of full administrative support for the project’s success.

“As an institution, we are proud to lead this initiative. Our doors remain open to ensure all stakeholders work seamlessly for the greater good of education in Nigeria,” he said.

…Urges Sustained Commitment to Global Standard.

The Council for Legal Education has commended Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, for its remarkable strides in the development of its Faculty of Law, describing the improvements as “substantial and commendable.”

The visiting team, led by the Director General of the Council, Professor Isa Hayatu Chiroma (SAN), emphasized that the University must sustain its momentum to meet both national and international benchmarks for legal education.

He acknowledged the visible progress made by IBBUL since the Council’s last visit.

The Director General stated that, “There is no denying that we have seen significant improvement.
From furniture and teaching aids to a functional e-library, the University has demonstrated commendable commitment to building a conducive environment for legal education. This is a step in the right direction.”

While appreciating the efforts of the Management, Professor Chiroma stressed the need for further enhancements in modern teaching and staff welfare facilities. “Television and satellite services are not luxuries; they are teaching tools. The same applies to fridges, air-conditioning systems, and well-furnished common rooms for both staff and students. If these facilities are available, lecturers will remain committed, and students will find a healthy environment to learn and interact. Similarly, classrooms must be adequately equipped with air-conditioners, blinds, and smart boards, while the library requires a steady supply of new books and periodicals. In law, knowledge is updated daily, and so must the resources. The University is on the right path, but it must not relent.” he maintained

Responding, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, reaffirmed IBBUL’s resolve to make the Faculty of Law a model of excellence.

“On behalf of the Council and Management of this University, I want to assure you that your observations have been carefully noted.

I guarantee that these concerns from classrooms and common rooms to teaching aids and welfare facilities will be addressed promptly. Law remains at the top of our priorities, and our vision is to make this Faculty compete favourably with the best in Nigeria and beyond.”

Professor Sulaiman also emphasized the University’s strict compliance with regulatory standards in its preparations for law admissions.

“We will not compromise the guidelines of the Council for Legal Education. Despite pressures, we have resisted the temptation to admit students prematurely because quality cannot be rushed. At the same time, we are working to attract senior academics to strengthen our faculty, offering incentives where necessary. Our mission is clear: to establish a Faculty of Law that stands as a lasting legacy, one that will command respect across Nigeria and Africa.”

In a closing remark, the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Alhaji Idris Saleh Kusherki, expressed deep appreciation to the Director General and his team for their visit and constructive feedback.

“We feel highly privileged to have you here once again, and I assure you that we have taken copious note of all your observations,” he said

Alhaji Kusherki pledged the Institution’s commitment to immediate corrective action and continuous improvement.

“Within the next few weeks, we will work tirelessly to address the highlighted issues, especially in areas concerning infrastructure, staff welfare, and modern teaching equipment. Your observations are not just instructions but guiding principles that will strengthen our pursuit of academic excellence.”

Humans have been advised to protect rivers for their survival or face the consequences of their actions.

Presenting his lecture during the 25th Inaugural Lecture series titled, “Social Relations of Rivers and Smart Sustainable River Management: A Serendipitous Journey of A Fluvial Geomorphologist”, at the Auditorium, Main Campus, Lapai, Professor Sheikh Danjuma Abubakar of the Department of Geography, spotlighted the urgent need to protect rivers through sustainable management and recognition of their rights, warning that continued neglect could have dire consequences for human survival.

The scholar explained that fluvial geomorphology, the study of river shapes, forms, and processes offers critical insights into how rivers shape landscapes, regulate climate, and sustain ecosystems.

“Fresh water is alarmingly scarce. Less than three percent of the Earth’s water is fresh, and most of it is locked in glaciers or deep underground. What remains accessible is vital to human life and must be managed wisely,” the lecture stressed.

According to him, tracing the history of fluvial geomorphology from 19th-century river landform studies to the modern use of satellite imaging and modeling, the lecturer underscored the importance of rivers to social, economic, and environmental stability.

Professor Sheikh advocated a paradigm shift from exploitation to stewardship, urging Nigeria to adopt the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Rivers into law and stressed that it should be complemented by Community Coalitions (CCs) that bring together governments, local communities, and river users to ensure sustainable management.

Professor Abubakar argued that rivers, much like humans, possess social relations that must be respected. He warned that unsustainable practices such as indiscriminate damming and poor management often trigger destructive floods, citing Sokoto (2010), Lokoja (2022), Maiduguri (2024), and Mokwa (2025) as case studies.

“When rivers are poorly managed, they react and the consequences are devastating for communities, agriculture, and the environment,” he cautioned.

“There is an urgent need to regulate the activities of companies, institutions, and individuals around rivers so they do not cause irreversible damage,” he said, echoing the findings of Eniolorunda & Abubakar (2022) on building mutually beneficial relationships with rivers.

He called for Legal recognition of rivers’ rights for long-term sustainability, Adoption of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) to coordinate water, land, and resource development, Policy enforcement to curb harmful practices that degrade river systems as well as mindset change from exploitation to respect and responsible care of rivers.

The Inaugural Lecturer lamented that failure to respect rivers could trigger devastating consequences, including flooding, displacement, waterborne diseases, and widespread socio-economic disruptions.

“Protecting rivers is not optional, it is a matter of survival for humans, for ecosystems, and for the future.” he said

Earlier in his welcome address, the Vice- Chancellor Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, has warned that Nigeria must urgently adopt smarter and sustainable river management practices to tackle the devastating effects of climate change and flooding.

Professor Sulaiman gave the charge while declaring open the University’s 25th Inaugural Lecture, stressing that research in geography and other specialised fields must move beyond theory to provide practical solutions for society.

“Research in areas of specialisation can yield geographical, economic, health, social, and political gains for a country. With climate change threatening our existence, geographers must connect the recommendations of their research to real-life challenges,” the Vice-Chancellor said.

He applauded the diligence of the Senate Committee on Seminars and Conferences, led by Professor Victor A. Kolawole, for sustaining the lecture series despite challenges, and commended the Institution’s Visitor, Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, for his unwavering support to the University.

Also, the Chairman of the University’s Conferences and Seminar Committee, Professor Victor A. Kolawole applauded the Vice Chancellor for agreeing to sustain the timetable for inaugural lectures series.

He appreciated the 25th Inaugural Lecture presenter, Professor Sheikh Danjuma Abubakar for his meticulous and dexterous ways of handling the topic of the lecture.

He Chairman appreciated the University Management for the continuous support to the Committee and called for sustained efforts.

Dignitaries present included Honourable Abdullahi Mahmud, Member representing Agaie/Lapai Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, who pledged legislative support for environmental research, and Honourable Muhammed Sani Idris, Chairman of the Niger State House Committee on Education, who assured that the Assembly would strengthen its backing for scholarship and sustainable development.

Speaking in an interview after the presentation, the Emir of Agaie, Alhaji Yusuf Nuhu described the lecture as “timely and socially relevant,” affirming that traditional institutions will partner with academia in addressing flooding and land degradation.

In a vote of thanks, the Registrar, Alhaji Idris Saleh Kusherki appreciated the Governor of Niger State, Council, Management of the University and all other people present at the event, noting that their presence was a demonstration of unflinching support and commitment to IBBU Lapai.

he Vice Chancellor of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, has reaffirm ed his commitment to prioritising the health and well-being of both staff and students of the Institution.

His remarks followed a letter dated 16th September 2025, in which the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), IBBU branch, expressed grave concerns over the state of the University’s Medical Centre.

The letter, which is a fallout of the ASUU Congress held on 11th September 2025, cited the near absence of qualified medical personnel, inadequate facilities, shortage of drugs, and poor service delivery as major challenges confronting healthcare in the University.

ASUU, in its resolution, urged both the University Management and the Niger State Government to declare a state of emergency on health services, stressing that the situation was already affecting the productivity of staff and students, as well as eroding public confidence in healthcare delivery at Lapai.

Professor Mohammad Hadi Sulaiman acknowledged the challenges, describing the University Clinic as one of his “biggest worries” since assuming office.

He disclosed that his administration had made several interventions, including engaging Health Maintenance Organisations (HMOs) to support students’ care and providing new medical equipment and supplies.

Professor Sulaiman also addressed persistent concerns over drug theft at the clinic, describing it as a major setback to Management’s interventions. He revealed that steps are already being taken to introduce a digital drug-tracking system designed by the University’s ICT experts to ensure proper accountability and curb diversion of medical supplies.

The Vice-Chancellor stressed that his administration would not condone sabotage, warning that any staff found guilty of stealing or mismanaging drugs would face strict disciplinary action.

He further disclosed that the Management had installed an alternative power supply through solar inverters at the clinic to guarantee steady power supply and improve service delivery, particularly at night. According to him, this intervention, along with other ongoing measures, is aimed at strengthening the facility’s efficiency and restoring public confidence in the University’s healthcare system.

The Vice Chancellor, however, admitted that more still needed to be done. He revealed that efforts are ongoing to recruit additional medical doctors and possibly integrate lecturers from the College of Health Sciences into the University’s clinic service schedule.

Plans, he disclosed, are also underway to introduce a 24-hour ambulance service with dedicated hotlines to enhance medical response for staff and students.

While acknowledging the difficulties of running an efficient health centre in a rural setting like Lapai, Professor Sulaiman assured stakeholders that the Management remains determined to gradually transform the facility into a standard medical centre.

“The wellbeing of our staff and students remains a top priority. Though the challenges are enormous, we are committed to addressing them step by step until our health services reflect the dignity of our university,” he said.

In his remarks, the ASUU Chairman, IBBUL chapter, Dr. Galadima Audu Bala, expressed gratitude to the Vice-Chancellor for his openness, noting that the meeting combined a courtesy visit with discussions on ASUU’s resolution regarding the poor state of the University Clinic and Lapai General Hospital.

He stressed that the failure of Lapai General Hospital has worsened pressure on the University Clinic, leaving staff and students without viable healthcare alternatives except traveling to Minna.

He cited painful instances, including the loss of a staff member’s wife and a professor traveling to Ilorin for basic treatment due to lack of drugs at the Clinic.

Dr. Galadima commended the Vice-Chancellor for honestly admitting the reality of the challenges, describing it as a sign of genuine will to resolve them.

He emphasized that declaring a state of emergency on healthcare services, both by the University and the State Government, is necessary to restore confidence.

He further explained that ASUU had also written to the Niger State Government, since the University alone cannot fix the broader healthcare crisis in Lapai.

On internal issues, he raised concerns about drug theft and general impunity within the University system, warning that failure to take disciplinary measures only encourages misconduct. He therefore called on the Management to penalize anyone found stealing drugs or engaging in sabotage at the Clinic, stressing that clear punitive measures are necessary to prevent recurrence and discourage impunity.

Commenting, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Professor Mohammed Salihu Niworu, highlighted the Management’s ongoing efforts to reposition the University Clinic despite the many challenges.

He recalled that the Central Bank of Nigeria once had an uncompleted project for a modern clinic, which dampened morale, but assured that steps are being taken to revive the idea. He revealed that discussions were ongoing with the NYSC to secure medical corps members, while ICT experts are already developing software to curb drug theft and improve accountability.

Professor Niworu also stressed the importance of attitudinal change among staff and students, urging everyone to embrace dialogue and incremental improvements rather than confrontation, since healthcare services cannot be transformed overnight.

Other Principal Officers reinforced these points, noting the Vice Chancellor’s determination to ensure a 24-hour ambulance service, recruit more medical doctors, and restore confidence in the Clinic.

They appealed for collective responsibility, warning against drug theft and negligence, and called for better collaboration with Lapai General Hospital to reduce the burden on the University’s facility. They further commended ASUU’s choice of dialogue, pledged continued support to the Vice-Chancellor’s reforms, and urged both staff and students to see themselves as stakeholders working toward the same goal of strengthening IBBUL’s healthcare system.

In his closing remarks, the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Alhaji Idris Saleh Kusherki, expressed appreciation to ASUU for the maturity shown in addressing the issues affecting the University’s healthcare services. He commended the union for choosing dialogue over confrontation and assured that the Management would continue to work closely with staff unions to find lasting solutions.

Alhaji Kusherki further pledged that the concerns raised would not be taken lightly, as the welfare of staff and students remains central to the University’s mission.

The Management of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, has once again cautioned its final year students against engaging in ‘sign-out’ celebrations, stressing that any student or group of students who violates the directive will face stiffer sanctions.

In a circular issued by the Student Affairs Division on Friday, September 12, 2025, and signed by the Dean of Student Affairs, Professor Musa Salihu Ewugi, graduating students were reminded that the restriction was not new, but a reinforcement of an earlier circular dated February 9, 2023.

The University’s decision, according to him, is aimed at maintaining peace and order, discipline, and protection of the good image of the Institution.

The circular explained that activities usually associated with sign-out celebrations, such as writing or signing on shirts, reckless or convoy driving of cars and motorcycles, inviting outsiders to congregate within or around the University, as well as wearing unusual attires and drinking alcohol, remain strictly prohibited.

Professor Ewugi emphasized that the University would not tolerate any deviation from the directive, warning that violators would be subjected to disciplinary measures.

He added that the reminder was necessary as some students often disregard earlier instructions, stressing that the Management’s position on the matter remains firm.

The Vice Chancellor of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, has reiterated his administration’s determination to strengthen entrepreneurship and skill acquisition among staff, students, and the host community.

Professor Sulaiman gave the assurance when he received members of the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (Lapai Branch) who paid him a courtesy visit.

The Vice Chancellor noted that entrepreneurship remains one of the pillars of IBBUL’s development agenda, adding that the Institution’s Centre for Innovation and the School of Entrepreneurship are positioned to drive skills training and create opportunities for economic empowerment.

“Our vision is to produce graduates who are not only academically sound but also equipped with practical skills to become job creators. That is why we welcome partnerships with unions such as yours to expand the frontiers of training in tailoring, garment production, and related fields,” Professor Sulaiman said.

“The University will continue to support initiatives that empower youths and provide sustainable livelihoods for our communities,” he added.

Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the Lapai Branch of the Union, Comrade Abubakar Na’ibi, congratulated the Vice Chancellor on his achievements and expressed appreciation for the administration’s openness to staff welfare.

Comrade Na’ibi commended the Vice Chancellor for the remarkable progress achieved under his leadership and sought closer collaboration with the University.

He appealed to the Management of the University to assist the Union in training young people who will later serve as trainers in the tailoring industry.

“Our Union is dedicated to preparing children and youths with the skills to stand on their own. But we face challenges in sustaining these trainings. We believe with the support of IBB University, this challenge can be turned into an opportunity for greater development,” Comrade Na’ibi stated.

Also speaking, a member of the Union’s Board of Trustees, Usman Batako, lauded the progress of the University under Professor Sulaiman’s watch. He noted that staff enjoy a sense of inclusion and encouragement.

“We are happy with the way the administration is handling the affairs of the University. As a staff, I feel privileged and proud to be associated with this leadership. We see brighter prospects for collaboration with our Union,” Batako remarked.

In his vote of thanks, the Dean of Student Affairs, Professor Musa Salihu Ewugi, commended the Union for their show of solidarity and assured them of the University’s continued cooperation.

“We thank the textile workers’ Union for their goodwill,” Professor Ewugi said.

According to him, the University values every partnership and every stakeholder assuring that the doors of the Institution remain open for collaboration that benefits both staff and students.

The Vice Chancellor urged the forum to involve older women in its activities to provide mentorship and guidance, stressing that parental roles in shaping values remain critical to protecting girls from abuse.

He also encouraged self-defense training, vigilance, and stronger family values as preventive measures.

Earlier, LAWEF President, Halima Sadiya Mohammed, who led the delegation, explained that the aimed of the visit is to intimate the Vice Chancellor on the forthcoming programme of the Forum and to inform him of honouring him with on award.

According her the initiative is also aimed at fostering an inclusive society and tackling harassment of girls in the community.

Other members of the delegation included the Secretary-General, Salma Musa; Vice President, Adama Ibrahim; Organizer, Azizat Aminu; Treasurer, Maryam Issa; and members, Aisha Mohammed Mustafa and Habiba Mohammed Kobo.

In a vote of thanks, the Academic Secretary Hajiya Amina Yunusa Ndayako who represented the Registrar, Alhaji Idris Saleh Kusherki, encouraged the group to collaborate with IBBUL’s Centre for Gender Studies.
