HADEJIA A YAU!
On Tuesday, 15th July 2021, the then Jigawa State Governor appointed me as Provost of Jigawa College of Remedial Advanced Studies, Babura, for a first term of 4 years, renewable for a maximum of 8 years as enshrined in the college's law.
Alhamdulillah, I announce my departure and handing over of my position as PROVOST with the successful 5 year Accreditation of the 10 ND Programs I introduced in the college after been appointed as provost, and a Historic First Certification Exams ever conducted in Jigawa State for 2 National Diploma on Health Science Courses (ND Public Health Technology and ND Epidemiology & Desease Control Technology) with over 120 external candidates from within and outside Jigawa State. This marks the end of my First Tenure of four (4) years as the Pioneer Provost of the College.
My special prayers and appreciation go to His Excellency Alhaji Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Mni, MON, the Former Governor of Jigawa State and Minister of Defence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who found me worthy and appointed me to head this wonderful institution. This is after several attempts to include me in his government.
A special thanks go to my Leaders in struggle, the Former and the Present Chairmen of our great association, “HADEJIA INA MAFITA INITIATIVE”, in persons of DR ISAH BILLAMI and SIR. Dr Baidi Mohammed Gajo Yalleman and the entire Mafita family, who not only supported me but also made this wonderful journey a success and a reality.
I also thank the pioneer Chairman and members of JICORAS Governing Council, Professor H.I. Bayero. And the present Governing Council of Hajiya Gaji Bello Hussain for their support, cooperation and giant efforts to uplift JICORAS in achieving academic excellence.
My Colleagues, the Management and other teaching staff of JICORAS, especially my former Registrar, Dr Rabiu Sale Kazaure, and the present Acting Registrar, and the entire management. My appreciation also goes to my Deputy and Ag. Provost whom I handed over the affairs of the college to in person of Malam Bashir Ubale Gumel, who is always with me in every decision (soft or hard) I took in ensuring high academic standards and quality assurance in the system.
I pray and hope that the person who will succeed me will do better than I to uplift the image and academic standard of the college. I learned a lot, heard a lot, and saw a lot during these short but important and memorable four years in office as provost of this institution.
I thank the entire Babura Community and the CBO, Movement for Better Babura, who always supported me with positive advice as a community-based organization.
I always believed in the saying of the Premier of the Defunct Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna, on the civil service
BA A IYAWA!
