Ambali expressed satisfaction with the significant progress made in the construction works.

He reaffirmed the commitment of the state government and KWASU management to ensure the timely commencement of academic operations, stating that the campuses will fulfill the aspirations of the host communities and bring substantial development to the regions.

They commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for making the long-awaited establishment of the campuses a reality, pledging their support in helping to integrate the incoming staff and students.

KWASU was originally conceived as a multi-campus university, with branches in Malete, Ilesha-Baruba, and Osi. This vision, which has been in the works for fifteen years, is now coming to fruition thanks to the efforts of Governor AbdulRazaq.
