The Vice Chancellor of Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), Professor Fatimah Tahir, has explained that the institution is committed to producing research that is impactful, innovative, and relevant to the needs of society.
Professor Tahir said the varsity will no longer compromise on academic excellence.
She stated this at a workshop for the academic staff on Writing Grant-Winning Concept Notes and Proposals organized by Centre of Excellence for Research and Innovation in collaboration with Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU) in Gadau.
Professor Tahir said that the institution will not settle for being perceived as “easy” but instead will strive for excellence in all aspects of its operations.
She said, “We don’t want students subscribing to our University because we are easy, we want students to subscribe to our university because we are excellent. And one of the ways that we can show the world that we are excellent is by the excellent research work that comes out of our university.”
Professor Tahir’s statement marks a significant shift in the university’s approach to academic standards.
