Federal University Kashere : FUKASHERE

Federal University Kashere : FUKASHERE at a glance

Federal University, Kashere, known as FUK, was established by the Federal Government in 2010 as part of a national initiative to increase access to higher education. The institution belongs to the generation of new federal universities created to bring university opportunities closer to communities that had previously been underserved by the national university system. FUK is located in Kashere, in Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State, north-eastern Nigeria. Its location gives the university a regional role: it provides a base for teaching, research and community engagement in Gombe and the surrounding states while remaining part of the federal university network. The university's early history is therefore about access, national distribution and institution-building. From its establishment, FUK has worked to develop academic programmes, staff capacity, learning facilities and the administrative systems required of a young federal university. Its work now reaches education, arts, social sciences, management, sciences, agriculture and other areas needed by students and communities. The founding purpose remains important: to widen participation in university education, produce skilled graduates and support research and development in north-eastern Nigeria.
