NUC boss, Abubakar Rasheed, resigns, returns to classroom

The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, has resigned from his position.

Rasheed, who made the announcement during the approval of the Kogi State University Kabba, in Abuja on Monday, said this would enable him to return to class as his primary assignment.

The NUC boss said he would continue his lecturing job at the Bayero University in Kano, from where he was appointed after spending seven years in the commission.

Rasheed, a Nigerian academician, administrator, and Professor of English, was the Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University between 2010 and 2015, and assumed office as the Executive Secretary of the NUC in 2016.
