The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Wukari, Professor Geoffrey Okogbaa, made the call while receiving members of the Joint Action Coalition of Civil Society Groups.

Okogbaa said the creation of universities in the six geo-political zones by Jonathan's administration helped in no small measure.

“One thing you cannot take away from the Jona­than administration is the fact that he gave edu­cation priority attention,” the don said.

“The universities he established in all six geo-political zones have gone a long way to reduce the psychological trauma, rejection and destruc­tion of dreams being faced by many helpless Nigerians in the past."

The group honoured the Vice chancellor with the “Man of the Year 2015” award for his sterling performance as the head of the university.
