The Federal Government has approved the swapping of pro-chancellors between the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, and the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, as part of ongoing reforms in the education sector.

Under the new arrangement, retired Colonel Abdulmuminu Aminu, who was serving as the Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, has been transferred to the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi.

Similarly, Ali Abubakar Jatau, the Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, will now serve as the Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.

The transfer takes immediate effect, according to a statement issued on Monday by Mrs Folasade Boriowo, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education.

Boriowo explained that the decision to swap the pro-chancellors aligns with the government’s broader reforms aimed at promoting fairness, transparency, and good governance across the nation’s universities.

The Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa, while approving the changes, stressed the administration’s commitment to strengthening the university system.

With the renewed reforms going on in the education system, we are determined to ensure fairness, transparency, and a high level of governance across all our universities, ensuring that our children receive the right education in the most conducive environment,” he said.

The move forms part of a series of measures being undertaken by the Federal Government to enhance the quality of education and ensure the efficient management of higher institutions in the country.
