The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) has inaugurated a nine-man high level committee to review the systems, structures, and operations of the General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua University of Geological Sciences and Engineering Technology (UGSET), Kaduna.
The organisation said in a statement the move was part of efforts to position the institution as a globally competitive centre of excellence.
Inaugurating the committee, the Executive Secretary of the PTDF, Prof. Shuaibu Aliyu, said the review will align the university with global best practices and support the current administration’s agenda through excellence in education, research, innovation, technology, and human capital development.
Chaired by former Secretary-General of the African Petroleum Producers’ Organisation (APPO), Dr. Farouk Ibrahim, the committee will assess the university’s governance, academic programmes as well as infrastructure.
It will also look into research, industry partnerships, and operational effectiveness, while recommending measures to strengthen its contribution to Nigeria’s energy sector and the wider economy.
