President Bola Tinubu has appointed retired Air Vice Marshal Saddiq Kaita as the new Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Bayero University, Kano (BUK).
AVM Kaita is the replacement of Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, who also acts as the Federal Housing Authority’s (FHA) chairman.
This development was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, adding that the replacement was necessary to enable Dr. Gawuna to focus on his position at the FHA.
The statement added, “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 standardization within the Air Force.”
