MAAUN Group of Universities has congratulated Prof. Amina Salihi Bayero on her appointment as the substantive Vice Chancellor of Northwest University, Kano, Nigeria.
The appointment was approved by the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, following a recommendation by the University Governing Council after a rigorous selection process.
The congratulatory message was contained in a statement personally signed by the Founder of the universities, Professor Adamu Gwarzo and released to newsmen on Thursday in Kano, Nigeria.
Professor Gwarzo, who doubles as the President of the Association of Africa Private Universities (AAPU), described the appointment of Prof. Salihi Bayero as “well- deserved” in view of her academic pedigree and wealth of experience.
“As a distinguished scholar of Analytical Chemistry and the first female PhD holder in Chemistry from Bayero University Kano, I have no doubt that Prof. Salihi Bayero will deliver on her mandate,” Professor Gwarzo said.
He also expressed confidence that the new VC who served in various academic and administrative capacities, would bring about the needed transformation and development in the university.
Professor Gwarzo commended the university Governing Council for recognising her accomplishments by giving her the appointment and Governor Yusuf for approving the appointment.
The MAAUN Founder prayed to almighty Allah to guide and give the new VC the wisdom to steer the university to greater heights.
