Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa on Friday
appointed former President Olusegun
Obasanjo as the pioneer Chancellor of the
newly established Jigawa State University
in Kafin Hausa.
The State Commissioner for Education,
Science and Technology, Prof. Haruna
Wakili, disclosed this in an interview with
the News Agency of Nigeria in Dutse.
Wakili said the State Government had
sent
a delegation to present the appointment
letter to the former President at his
country home in Abeokuta.
He explained that the appointment was
based on Section 8 of the Jigawa State
University Law, 2013.
Wakil said that Section 2 of the Second
Schedule of the law also supported the
appointment.
The two sections, he said, vested on the
Visitor of the University the powers to
appoint Chancellor for the institution.
He added that extensive consultation was
made before reaching the decision to
appoint Obasanjo as the pioneer
chancellor of the university.
"The government arrived at the decision
after due consideration of his immense
contributions to the making of modern
Nigeria; as former military head of state
and two terms democratically elected
President.
"Obasanjo is an internationally recognised
and respected elder statesman and
indeed an eminent personality of proven
integrity who served his country to the
peak, diligently, selflessly and sincerely,"
he said.
The commissioner stated that he was part
of the delegation that presented the letter
to the former president.
"I am therefore glad to inform you that
the former President had accepted the
appointment and assured the governor
and people of Jigawa ofhis readiness to
serve.
"He also promised to do all that was
possible to take the university to a greater
height. www.locogist..nl/2014/08/olusegun-obasanjo-now-chancellor-of.html?m=1
