Worthy of note is the global partnership with the Blue Bird Bus Company and Citizens of Heaven Foundation incorporated in Canada and Nigeria. The foundation gave sound foundational support with a promised donation of 78 refurbished school buses and the goodwill to set up an automobile workshop and training facility for the project in GO-Uni.

The Vice-Chancellor thanked everyone who successfully implemented the project, especially the Directorate of Strategic Planning, for always pushing the development of the main campus. He further stated that an advert to get drivers for the new buses will be placed online. The selected drivers shall be trained by GO-Uni global partners from Canada.
