President Bola Tinubu has appointed Air Vice Marshal Saddiq Kaita (retd.) as the new Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Bayero University, Kano.
AVM Kaita replaces Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, who also serves as the Federal Housing Authority’s (FHA) chairman.
A statement on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, noted that Tinubu made the change to enable Dr. Gawuna to concentrate on his position at the FHA.
“Before retiring from the Nigerian Air Force, AVM Saddiq Ismaila Kaita was Director of Strategy at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) and Chief of Defence Transformation and Innovation.
“He is known for his contributions to training and standardisation within the Air Force,” the statement added.
