Northern Activist Rejects Appointment From Buhari

Najatu Muhammed, an activist and supporter of President
Muhammadu Buhari, has rejected her appointment as chairperson of the Governing
Council of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State.

She conveyed her decision in a letter to the Minister of
Education, Adamu Adamu. She also took an advertorial in a newspaper to announce
her decision.

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, had recently
announced her appointment and that of 12 others while reconstituting the
governing councils of 12 federal universities.

In the letter entitled, “Reconstitution of the Governing
Councils of 12 Federal Universities”, Mrs. Muhammed, who is also a politician
from Kano State, said she was not consulted before the announcement was made in
the media. Below is Ms. Muhammed’s letter:

“I, Najatu Muhammad, wish to thank you so much for considering
me worthy of being appointed the chairperson of Dutse Federal University.

It’s however, unfortunate that I was not consulted before
the announcement in the media.

“I also regret that I have to use the same medium to
announce that I can’t accept the appointment for some personal reasons.

“I will however remain an ardent supporter of President
Muhammadu Buhari in his effort in charting a new course for this country. A
course that we pray will put this country back on the path of progress.

“I will also continue to support the presidents fight
against corruption and other ills of this country. My unflinching support for
the President will remain for Allah’s sake and country.

“I pray that Allah will continue to guide and protect our
President.

“Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
