Bago encouraged the Management of the New Gate University to engage Public Private Partnership in carrying out infrastructural development in the institution.
He commended the founder of the University, Hassan Nuhu, for establishing the institution and assured that his administration will continue to come up with policies and programmes that would encourage him and others to make Niger state an academic city.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Yusuf Sadiq, highlighted the importance of prioritizing education of young people, saying they are the future of the society.
