Commenting on the occasion, Bello said the establishment of the state university, kabba, was one of his ambitions when he made up his mind to contest for the governorship position of the state.
He said that while kogi west senatorial district is noted to have the highest number of professors from the state, the district had no university, hence the need for such higher institution in the area.
