President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday congratulated Professor Kevin Ibeh, Professor of Marketing and International Business and Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) at Birkbeck, University of London, on his appointment as Commissioner of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission.
A statement by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, said Buhari believes that the well-deserved appointment was “an attestation of Prof Ibeh’s vast knowledge, hard work and experience, which have earned him respect in the academia.”
“As a former Commonwealth Scholar, the President believes that Professor Ibeh will bring his in-depth knowledge and track record in international development and higher education to bear on his new position of responsibility.”
The statement said Buhari is confident that the Nigerian-born scholar will bring fresh perspectives to his new position, joining other commissioners in promoting the objective of the Commission in ensuring opportunities for exceptional students and mid-career professionals to study in the United Kingdom.
