From Fred Ezeh, Abuja
The Deputy Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC) Mr. Chris Maiyaki, has formally taken over the affairs of the NUC from the immediate-past Executive Secretary, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, on acting capacity pending the appointment of a substantive Executive Secretary by the President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
Prof. Rasheed had tendered his resignation as NUC Executive Secretary, effective Friday, 30th June, 2023, to return to Bayero University Kano (BUK) to continue academic activities which, he said, has been his long desire to finish his active years in the classroom.
Speaking at a brief handover ceremony at the NUC headquarters in Abuja, on Friday, the immediate-past Executive Secretary, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, appreciated the time (7 years) he spent at the helm of affairs of NUC, and the great support he received from the management and staff, as well as all stakeholders in the education sector.
He said: “I had written to the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, through the immediate past Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, for me to voluntarily step down from this position.
“The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, David Adejoh, conveyed the message of the President, Bola Tinubu, dated 1st June, 2023, accepting my resignation, and I am happy that I am leaving back to Kano.”
