step into the education sector, or a professional in administration, engineering, healthcare, or IT,
there's likely a position here with your name on it. The university is recruiting across seven different
faculties from Basic Medical Sciences to Computing, Architecture to Pharmacy and they
need both teaching staff and support personnel to make it all work.
After reading this article, you will know if this job is right for you. You will also learn how to apply
properly. I will explain everything in simple terms because I know how confusing these recruitment
announcements can be. No wahala, no stress just clear information that actually helps.
Let's get started.
History
Good news came to Nigeria in 2025. The country got a new university called Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, or FUASK for short.
You can find this school in Kachia town, which is in Kaduna State. Many young people who want to learn useful skills now have a new place to study.
How did this university start? Well, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung from Kaduna South really believed in this idea.
He worked with other lawmakers to make it happen. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu signed it into law, and FUASK was created.
Senator Danjuma Laah had actually tried this twice before in earlier sessions but wasn't
successful. His earlier attempts helped make this one work
What makes FUASK different from other universities?
Simple. Students don't just sit in classrooms reading books all day.
They learn by doing actual work. If you study engineering, you'll work with real machines. If you study agriculture, you'll plant real crops.
This way, when students finish school, they already know how to do the job.
The location matters too. Before FUASK came, people in Kachia had to travel very far to attend federal universities.
Now, students can study close to home, save money, and still get quality education. This will help the whole community grow stronger.
