The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia), Prof. Mohammed Isa Kida, has commended students and staff of the institution’s Department of Microbiology for emerging winners of the Nigerian Society for Microbiology (NSM) Quiz Competition.
Kida, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic Affairs, Prof. Ilemona Adofu, gave the commendation when Dr Obande Godwin Attah, Dr Osuyi Gerard Uyi and Mrs Angbalaga Gladys Abel led the victorious students to present the prize to the University's Management.
The competition, organised by the Nigerian Society for Microbiology, was held at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State.
The vice-chancellor said the feat had brought honour and recognition to FULafia, adding that its impact would endure beyond the competition.

Kida described the Department of Microbiology as one of the University’s most vibrant departments in the University, urging its staff and students to sustain the practices that had produced the achievement.
He said the students’ performance demonstrated FULafia’s commitment to integrity and excellence.
The Federal University of Technology, Minna, came second while Bingham University emerged third in the NMS Quiz Competition.
