Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega, has been appointed as Pro-chancellor of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi.
Jega’s appointment was confirmed in a statement on Thursday by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Aliyu Ubandoma, stating that Governor Abdullahi Sule, approved of the appointment.
Jega was a former Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University, Kano, and a former president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The Nasarawa State Government, however, explained that Jega was given the latest appointment based on the powers granted to the governor as a visitor to the institution.
The statement further stated that Jega’s appointment aligned with the governor’s commitment to the institution’s academic excellence.
Ubandoma said the governor also approved the appointment of Shuaibu Kore, Thomas Ogiri and Mary Enwongulu as governing council members.
He added that the governing council would be inaugurated on a date to be announced later.
