He said the rate the university was spending the chunk of its budget on diesel calls for serious concern.

“If we have spent over 70 per cent of the annual budget on diesel alone within six months of the year, I wonder how we would manage the university with the remaining 30 percent for the remaining months,” he said.

“Our faculty of science, Physics department in particular, is already looking at the possibility of building a solar energy to be able to bail the university out,” he said.
