BUK Welcomes Back Resigned NUC Boss as Lecturer

 In a surprising development, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), has announced his voluntary resignation from the position. This announcement was made during an interaction with our correspondent, where Prof. Rasheed revealed his intention to return to his former position as a lecturer at Bayero University Kano (BUK).

Prof. Rasheed's resignation comes after seven years of serving as the NUC boss. He was initially appointed to the role during the tenure of former Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu. Throughout his tenure, Prof. Rasheed oversaw significant milestones, including the approval of the highest number of private universities in the country.

However, it is noteworthy that the university system also faced numerous challenges during his leadership, including a notable increase in industrial actions. The implications of his resignation and its potential impact on the NUC's future direction remain to be seen.

With his decision to return to academia, Prof. Rasheed aims to continue contributing to the field of education by sharing his expertise and knowledge with students at BUK. His extensive experience and academic background make him well-suited for the role, and his presence at the university is expected to have a positive impact on the academic community.

Further details regarding the circumstances surrounding Prof. Rasheed's resignation and the transition process at the NUC are yet to be revealed. As the news unfolds, it will be interesting to observe how this development will shape the future of the NUC and the higher education landscape in Nigeria.
