President Bola Tinubu has appointed new members for the governing councils of the University of Abuja (UniAbuja), University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (NAU).
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga announced this via a statement issued on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
Tinubu had, in February, dissolved the governing council of UniAbuja and sacked the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Aisha Maikudi, amid controversy over her eligibility.
The new governing council members for UniAbuja are Prof. Rosemary Egonmwan – South-South; Dr Adedeji Adefuye – South-West; Prof. Sarki Abdulkadir – North-West; and Prof. Aminu Dukku – North-East.
