The immediate past vice-chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu, has stated where he is going to be located after his five-year sojourn as NOUN VC in Abuja.
Adamu, a professor of Science Education and Media and Cultural Communication, ended his single-term tenure as VC of NOUN on Thursday, February 11, 2021.
The 65-year-old professor says he has taken a sabbatical appointment as a visiting professor at Kaduna State University for a year.
Writing in a telegram group chat days after he handed over to his successor, Adamu said, “It gives me great pleasure to let you know that I handed over the leadership of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) to a newly elected vice-chancellor, Professor Olufemi Peters.
“I am now enroute to my hometown, the funky town of Kano, where I will moor my ship for two weeks before sailing again to Kaduna state University (KASU) on March 1, 2021 as a sabbatical visitor.
“I am looking forward to meeting wonderful colleagues and fans in that great fabulous university. The sabbatical would last a year and end February 29, 2022, when I will go back to BUK normal.”
A statement by Ibrahim Sheme, director of media and publicity said the outgone VC used the opportunity to thank all his friends who in one way or the other supported his tenure through prayers, well-wishing and publicity.
