October 13, 2017

Dear dpg , I seriously think that you people should turn your radar to the UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, MAKURDI. The kind of injustice, malpractice and corruption going on in that school is unprecedented. The latest one is the battle for the VC's office, Since the present VC Prof. Emmanuel Kucha will be leaving by November. He has left the school damaged without recognition.
