The University of Maiduguri has reacted to ‘reports and commentaries’ that Dr Yakubu Nura, a lecturer in the institution’s Department of Physics won the 'World Physics Competition.'

The university management said the reported award has now become a subject of controversy capable of dragging the name of the institution into ridicule and disrepute. 

In a statement sent to Sahara Reporters by the institution’s Director of Radio and Public Relations, Prof Danjuma Gambo, the university said, “For the avoidance of doubt, neither Dr Nura nor the organisation that reportedly gave him the said award has officially contacted the university management with credible information on the matter.” 

Recall that Dr Nura was reported on Friday to have won a “world physics championship” award.

The 51-year-old mid-level cadre lecturer was said to have been crowned the “Father of modern Einstein’s Planetary Equation studies in Physics”.

Danjuma however, said; “The university will do the needful whenever it receives official, verifiable information from impeccable sources in order to put the matter into proper perspective.”

ask dem

They are all confused

Always suspected it was a scam award.
He should show us what he invented,the equation he solved or stellar breakthrough he made to be given such award.
That's how some of them forge dissertations,cite their publications in non existent journals or glorified leaflets,or copy materials and cite it as theirs,to enable them become professors.
I bet no such body gave him any award,he just wants to shadily fast track his way to a professorship.
