Mr. Mohammed Mutala Surazu
Congratulations Developer Mr Surazu!!!
Please read his profile below.
Until I was admitted into the University for Development Studies, I never knew how life was traveling out of my hometown and staying far away for the first time. At the beginning, life in school was different/difficult. We had only the House of Chiefs building and the school administration block to attend lectures and later when they constructed some Lecture Halls on the Bamahu campus, we continued our lectures there until we completed. I have since learnt to live and survive everywhere no matter the situation and this is because UDS had a TTFPP (Third Trimester Field Practical program). I experienced and learnt a lot about Research and this has always motivated me wherever I’m.
The evidence of the uniqueness of the TTFPP is that when I was posted to Bunkpurugu SHS to do my National Service, it was a normal stay for me while my colleagues from other Universities saw it difficult to live in the village. This also motivated me to do my Masters in UEW and now here in University of Belgrade doing my PhD. I am confident that the same UDS spirit still keeps me going.
