Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, has taken a major step toward improving its infrastructure and campus security with the formal handover of project sites for three multi-million Naira developments funded by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).

Shedrack Best, Vice Chancellor of the university, handed over the sites to contractors on Tuesday describing the developments as a critical intervention aimed at strengthening teaching, learning, and the overall learning environment within the institution.

The projects include the extension of the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences building under the 2025 TETFund Annual Intervention (Comprehensive), the renovation of the Senate Building also under the 2025 Annual Intervention, and the construction and renovation of the university’s perimeter fence under the 2025 TETFund Special Allocation for Disaster Recovery Interventions.

Represented by Moses Galadima, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), the Vice Chancellor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to raising both infrastructural and academic standards in line with global best practices.

Best cautioned the contractors to strictly adhere to approved standards and specifications as contained in their contract agreements, stressing that quality and timely delivery were non-negotiable.

“We will provide you with all necessary support, however, you must ensure timely delivery and strict adherence to technical specifications. These projects are central to our administration’s goals, and we expect nothing less than excellence.”

Speaking on behalf of their respective firms, Greg Lawani of Harriman Engineering Ltd, which is handling the extension of the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences building and the construction and renovation of the perimeter fence, alongside Everest Miri of Blossom Innovators Ltd, assured the university of quality delivery within the agreed timelines.

The contractors also appealed for sustained cooperation from the university management to ensure smooth execution and seamless completion of the projects.

In separate remarks, Sarah Tsemwan Wayo, Director of Physical Facilities, and Sarah, Provost of the College of Medicine represented by the Dean of Health and Allied Sciences, expressed readiness to provide the necessary support and oversight to guarantee the successful execution of the projects.

Media reports that with project durations ranging from thirteen to fifty-two weeks, the developments underscore the determination of the PLASU administration to reposition the institution as a secure, modern, and globally competitive citadel of learning.
