The House of Representatives Committee on University Education has decried the infrastructure decay at the Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State.
The Chairman, House Committee on University Education, Hon Abubakar Hassan Fulata, who made this known after his committee visited the various facilities of the university, said the committee will seek for a way to address the challenges. 'There are a lot of buildings that have not been completed. The road network is really very poor. So these are very serious challenges specific to the university location.
He said the oversight visit, which is in line with the constitutional provisions in terms of legislative roles, is not to witch-hunt anybody but to allow the legislators who have the power of appropriation to have proper knowledge of the running of the institutions and assist where necessary.
