President of the Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, has congratulated Professor Maimuna Waziri on her appointment as the third vice chancellor of the Federal University, Gashua, Yobe State.
The Senate president also commended the Governing Council of the university for choosing her without rancour under due process and best university tradition.
“With the appointment of Waziri, the Governing Council has sustained the steady sail of Federal University, Gushau towards becoming a true citadel of learning and research,” Lawan stated.
He recalled that Waziri has served with merit in three universities, including the Federal University, Gashua, where she was the Deputy Vice Chancellor until this new appointment.
“Her credentials thus amply recommend her for this appointment and underscore the popular expectation that she will discharge the onerous tasks of the office with distinction,” he stated.
The Senate president further stated that Waziri’s attainments in academics and leadership were an inspiration to women in the North and other parts of Nigeria who have dreams of distinguishing themselves in their professions and of making remarkable contributions to national development.
He urged her to continue to be exemplary by bringing her vast administrative and academic experience to bear in working with the management and staff to take her university to higher academic rankings, while wishing her a successful tenure.
