Bishop Kukah gets new appointment
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Bishop Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council at the Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, in Kaduna State.
The announcement was made in a statement on Monday by Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, which was shared with journalists.
The President also appointed several key officials for the university. These include Professor Qurix Williams Barnabas as Vice Chancellor, Sanusi Gambo Adamu as Registrar, Ibrahim Dalhat as Bursar, and Professor Daniel Abubakar as University Librarian.
In addition, President Tinubu approved the appointment of Mr. Thomas Etuh (representing the North Central), Chief Fabian Nwaora (South East), Professor Femi Taiwo (South West), and Zarah Bukar (North East) as members of the university’s Governing Council.
These appointments were made based on the appointees’ impressive careers, leadership skills, and commitment to improving education in Nigeria.
President Tinubu called on them to use their expertise to make the university a centre of academic excellence and research, in line with his Renewed Hope Agenda.
The President also encouraged the new officials to provide strong leadership and build a solid foundation for the university as it prepares to welcome its first students in September 2025.
The Federal University of Applied Sciences was previously known as Nok University. It was renamed after the federal government took over its assets.
