Tinubu names new governing council members for UniAbuja, UNN, NAU
President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of new governing council members for three federal universities.
The institutions include the University of Abuja (UniAbuja), University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (NAU).
In February, the president had dissolved the governing council of UniAbuja and removed Aisha Maikudi as vice-chancellor over concerns about her eligibility for the position.
In a statement on Tuesday, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said Tinubu named four new members for UniAbuja’s governing council.
