Kebbi State Government has dissolved the Governing Council of Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero, and relieved the Vice-Chancellor and the two Deputy Vice-Chancellors, Academics and Administration, of their appointments.
This follows the State Executive Council’s (SEC) consideration of the recommendations of the visitation panel report to the institution.
“On the recommendation of the Visitation Panel constituted by the Kebbi State Government, the State Executive Council has approved the dissolution of the Governing Council of Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero.
“The Vice-Chancellor and the two Deputy Vice-Chancellors of Academics and Administration have been relieved of their appointments.
“The Registrar and Bursar of the institution have also been removed, while the appointment of one Abba Muhammad Adua has also been terminated,” the SSG said.
He said Prof. Samaila Arzika Mungadi had been appointed as the Sole Administrator of the university with the responsibility of stabilising governance.
Bala-Tafida added that the sole administrator was also saddled with restoring academic integrity pending the reconstitution of a new governing council that would usher in the appointment of new principal officers of the university.
The SSG said the decision takes effect from 30 April 2026.
He appreciated the members of the visitation panel for doing a thorough job that gave the State Executive Council a headway.
