The Kebbi State Government has terminated the appointment of Prof. Danshehu Bagudu Gwadangaji as Vice Chancellor of Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA), along with five other senior officials. This action follows an investigation into the institution’s management.
According to a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Yakubu Bala Tafida, the decision was reached during a State Executive Council meeting after reviewing recommendations from a visitation panel that examined the university’s operations. The affected officials include two Deputy Vice Chancellors (Academic and Administration), the Registrar, and the Bursar.
In a related move, the government also dissolved the university’s Governing Council, acting on the same panel’s advice. To ensure smooth operations, Prof. Sama’ila Arzika Mungadi has been appointed as Sole Administrator with effect from April 30, 2026.
While the government did not disclose specific findings from the panel, it reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing the university’s efficiency and academic standards.
