"My appointment as Acting Vice Chancellor constantly reminds me that my great Founder wants a credible, selfless, honest leader who buys into his vision of running a university that will show Nigerians how a university should be run to pilot the affairs of the university as a Vice Chancellor."
"Looking at the journey since we started academic works with 240 students in 2010 and being what we are today as a university, I can say without any fear of contradiction that the immediate future is very bright for us."
"Our learning process is exceedingly interactive. It involves the best Faculty around and we see ourselves competing favourably with the Ivy League universities such as Harvard, Stanford and Cambridge as well as Oxford Universities among others."
"...remind you that I am one of the pioneer staff of the university. I remember how we used to navigate our way into the thick forest inhabited by reptiles and wild animals in those days. When I juxtapose the state-of-the-art buildings, the well manicured lawns, the well-trimmed trees and shrubs as well as the well macadamized road of today with those days of little beginnings, my heart oozes with immeasurable and indescribable joy"
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
