The governing council of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) has approved the appointment of Professor Bashir Garba as the new Vice-Chancellor of the institution.

The decision was made during the council’s 168th special meeting on Wednesday, chaired by Attahiru Jega.

Professor Garba, currently serving as the Vice-Chancellor of Sokoto State University, will assume his new role at UDUS on September 1, for a single term of five years.

This appointment marks a significant homecoming for Garba, who is an alumnus of UDUS.

Born in Sokoto South Local Government Area, Garba’s academic journey began at UDUS where he earned a B.Sc in Applied Chemistry in 1988.

He later obtained a Master’s degree in Applied Organic Chemistry from the University of Jos in 1994, and a Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from UDUS in 1998.

Garba commenced his academic career as a Graduate Assistant at UDUS in 1989. His dedication to academia saw him rise through the ranks, eventually becoming a Professor in 2002. Over the years, he has held various administrative positions within and outside the university, demonstrating his versatility and leadership capabilities.

His career outside UDUS is equally distinguished. He has been the Vice-Chancellor of Sokoto State University since May 2022, on a leave of absence. Prior to this, Garba served in several high-profile roles, including as Commissioner in the Sokoto State Executive Council from June 2019 to January 2022, Secretary to the Sokoto State Government from September 2015 to May 2019, Rector of the Polytechnic of Sokoto State from August 2012 to September 2015, and Director of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) from April 2006 to March 2010. He also led the Sokoto Energy Research Centre (SERC) as its Director from August 1999 to 2005.
