From:Femi Oyelola in Kaduna
A group under the auspices of Southern Kaduna Youths Stakeholders Forum has expressed dismay over the widespread misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda disseminated by certain Members of the Upper Chambers regarding the establishment and legislative efforts related to the Federal University of Applied Sciences Kachia (FUASK) and the Federal Medical Centre, Kafanchan (FMC).
This was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Research and Documentation for the Forum, Engr. Seth Habila Bakut.
The Director stated that the primary objective of the statement was to counter the intentional inaccuracies surrounding FUASK and FMC Kafanchan and to purify the political discourse of its detrimental influences.
“Before addressing the core issues, the propagandists associated with Senator Sunday Marshall Katung must recognize that no amount of narrative manipulation will diminish the significant contributions of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and His Excellency Governor Uba Sani in the establishment of FUASK and FMC Kafanchan.”
He maintained that these institutions were initiated through the benevolence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the benefit of the region, and any effort by an individual to claim unilateral credit for these institutions is an attempt to undermine the presidency and deny Southern Kaduna further opportunities for advancement.
Furthermore, Engr. Seth noted that there are existing legislations that permit the Federal Government, State Government, and private entities to establish universities without necessarily undergoing legislative processes at the National Assembly (NASS) or state assemblies.
