Former Chief Security Officer to Late Gen.
Sani Abacha and Chief Executive Officer of
APUDI Institute for Peace Studies, Major
Hamza Al-Mustapha (rtd) has donated a
fleet of 10 transit buses to University of
Abuja to ease the transport challenges and
difficulties experienced by the students.
Major Al-Mustapha, who made the donation
on Wednesday during the signing of
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
between APIS and University of Abuja, noted
that the transport scheme was not for profit-
making, but cushion the hardship and
suffering of the average students who had
to shuttle between the two campuses of the
university on daily basis.
According to him, the University
Management would have the responsibility
of managing the scheme, with a view to
ensuring prudence and durability, even as he
assured that in due course, APIS would
provide bigger buses with larger capacities.
Speaking on the occasion, Major Al-
Mustapha said the signing of the MoU
between the two institutions marked the
beginning of friendship and services that
would provide strong and enduring
leadership and foundation for the younger
generation and generations unborn.
He said he was confident that the MoU
would advance the capacity and quality of
training of APIS and University of Abuja,
adding that it would also help to promote a
corruption-free society.
On his part, the Vice Chancellor, Prof.
Michael Adikwu said it was one thing to sign
an MoU and another to make such MoU
functional, urging the key players to be up
and doing and make it work.
While emphasising on the importance of
local contents to drive the MoU, Prof.
Adikwu identified the areas of collaboration
between APIS and University of Abuja as
skills acquisition; peace and security
studies; corruption studies; knowledge
exchange and fertilisation of ideas.
