The MAAUN Group of Universities has congratulated Prof. Amina Salihi Bayero on her appointment as the substantive Vice-Chancellor of Northwest University, Kano.
The appointment was approved by Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf following the recommendation of the University Governing Council after what officials described as a rigorous selection process.
The congratulatory message was contained in a statement personally signed by the Founder of the universities, Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, and made available to newsmen on Thursday in Kano.
Gwarzo, who is also the President of the Association of Africa Private Universities (AAPU), described Prof. Salihi Bayero’s appointment as “well-deserved” considering her academic achievements 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,” he said.
He expressed confidence that the new vice-chancellor, who has served in various academic and administrative capacities, would bring about the desired transformation and development in the institution.
Gwarzo commended the University Governing Council for recognising her accomplishments and Gov. Yusuf for approving the appointment.
He prayed to almighty Allah to guide and grant the new vice-chancellor the wisdom to steer the university to greater heights.
