"A time some persons in the Senate decided to work against the establishment of a federal tertiary institution in their Senatorial District and rather chose to work for the realization of a similar bill in another state and geo-political zone in the country, Senator Ovie Omo Agege stuck out his neck and ensured that the Varsity Bill was presented before the Nigeria's Senate for its perfunctory concurrence.
