Ahmadu Bello University has invited members of its community to contribute ideas aimed at improving financial stability and sustainability in the institution. The Vice-Chancellor has set up a committee to review revenue generation potentials, financial performance, expenditure patterns, and the income sharing mechanisms in all units of the university.
According to the committee, it has already received copies of earlier submissions from various units to the Vice-Chancellor’s office and is carrying out a preliminary analysis. This is to help the team gain a better understanding of the current financial situation, practices, and challenges.
The committee stated, “We believe that the ideas and experiences of the university community are very vital to the successful discharge of this assignment.” It emphasized the need for innovative strategies that could boost revenue generation across all units.
Units that have not yet submitted their proposals are encouraged to do so, while individuals within the university are urged to send in suggestions that could aid the work. The focus areas include new revenue-generating initiatives, optimizing existing expenditure patterns, developing a more equitable sharing formula, and other measures that could improve the university’s financial health.
How to apply:
Submissions should be brief and direct, and must be sent to revenpot@abu.edu.ng on or before 15 August 2025. “Your contributions are highly welcome,” the committee noted.
The notice was signed by Salisu Hamisu Ibrahim, Committee Secretary, who reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to fostering a sustainable financial structure within the university.
