The Vice Chancellor of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil (ADUSTECH), Professor Tukur Musa Yakasai, has disclosed that the institution has successfully renovated its students hostels and upgraded its healthcare services as part of ongoing efforts to improve campus life and academic standards.
Professor Yakasai made this known during an inspection tour of key facilities across the university.
He explained that the renovation of female hostels was completed last year through a direct labour approach, coordinated by the Dean of Students Affairs, an effort that has now been extended to the male hostels.
The VC said the renovations were funded through modest contributions received from students, stressing that the university management ensured judicious use of the funds to deliver tangible improvements in students’ living conditions.
He further revealed that the university’s healthcare services have been significantly upgraded to the status of a general hospital.

Professor Yakasai also noted that ADUSTECH remains one of the most affordable universities in Nigeria offering science and technology-based courses, reaffirming the institution’s commitment to accessible and quality education.
Speaking during the tour, the Pro-Chancellor of the university, Justice Abdu Aboki (Rtd), who led the inspection team, commended the university management and the Deanery Department for adopting the direct labour initiative in renovating the hostels.
Justice Aboki said the upgrading of facilities would create a more conducive learning environment and contribute to the attainment of quality academic standards within the institution.
