Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed 42 traditional rulers as chancellors of some federal universities and inter-university centres.

The president also appointed 27 other individuals as pro-chancellors revealing that the decision was in line with the establishment of new universities and to also replace deceased chancellors.

Disclosing this is the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, in a statement on Thursday, 8 July 2021, stating that:

“Mr. President has, following the establishment of additional universities, approved the appointment, reassignment of chancellors to 43 federal universities. The exercise is intended to also replace deceased chancellors of some federal universities.

“As royal fathers, these chancellors are expected to be the moral compass of the various universities to which they are assigned.
