The VC disclosed this while playing host to the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Dennis
Dennis A. Ityavyar

who visited the university to inspect the sanitary level of the institution. He said though they couldn’t pay the said staff before July 31st because of the public holiday and other office procedures, the university ensured that all the staff were paid on the 3rd of August.

Prof.

said the sanitary state of the university environment which looked bad few days ago was as a result of the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic that affected management staff and forced the school to be shutdown for five weeks, explaining that when the school was partially opened, grass clearing commenced and was ongoing even at the time of this report.

He commended Governor Ortom for his untiring support to the university community and pledged to remain supportive to the present administration.
Earlier, Prof. Ityavyar presented Governor Ortom’s condolence message to the University Management over the death of Prof. Achinge, Deputy Vice Chancellor Administration who died of Covid-19 complications. He submitted that, even though he was at the university to inspect their preparedness towards a possible resumption, it was incumbent on him to deliver the Governor’s comforting message to the late academic.
The Commissioner earlier in the day alongside the Executive Secretary of Teaching Service Board Dr. Frank Kyungun, the Executive Chairman State Universal Basic Education Board, Comr Joseph Utse and other stakeholders in the education sector went on routine inspection to Primary and Secondary Schools within Makurdi metropolis to ascertain their level of compliance to Covid-19 protocols for schools resumption in the State.
