The Governing Council of Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology (AFUSTA), Aliero, has approved the appointment of Prof. Muhammad Gwani as the institution’s Acting Vice-Chancellor.
The university’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Mustapha Mansur-Ango, made this known in a statement issued on Monday in Birnin Kebbi.
Mansur-Ango said Gwani, who until his appointment was the university’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), was recommended for the position by the senate following the voluntary resignation of the former Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ismaila Arzika-Mungadi.
He said the governing council subsequently considered and ratified the senate’s recommendation, with Gwani’s appointment taking effect from Monday, Aug. 31.
Mansur-Ango said the appointment followed the university’s established procedures and was aimed at ensuring continuity in the administration of the institution.
The PRO said the university community had welcomed the appointment and congratulated Gwani, while wishing him a successful, fruitful, and hitch-free tenure.
