-Muhammad insists she was not consulted before the appointment
A politician and activist from northern part of Nigeria, Najatu
Muhammad, has rejected a federal government appointment through a
newspaper.
The federal government had on Saturday, February 13, appointed Muhammad as the chairperson of the governing board of the Dutse Federal University through a paid advertorial on a national daily.
By the same announcement, vice-chancellors of the 13 universities established by former President Goodluck Jonathan were also sacked, although many of them maintained that they were not sacked adding that their tenures only expired.
TheCable.ng reports that Muhammad, a staunch supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari and an associate of the First Lady, Aisha Buhari had rejected the appointment on grounds that she was not consulted.
In a quarter-page newspaper advert published in DailyTrust on Monday, February 15, and addressed to the minister of education, Adamu Adamu, she wrote:
“Sir, I Najatu Muhammad wishes (wish) to thank you so much for considering me worthy of being appointed the chairperson of Dutse Federal University. It’s however unfortunate that I was not consulted before the announcement in the media. I also regret that I have to use the same medium to announce that I can’t accept the appointment for personal reasons.”
“I will however remain an ardent supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari in his effort in charting a new course for this country. A course that we pray will put this country back to the path of progress. I will also continue to support the presidents (president’s) fight against corruption and other ills of this country. My unflinching support for the President will remain for Allah’s sake and country.
“I pray that Allah will continue to guide and protect our President.”
“Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
“Thank you.”
