SOKOTO — Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state has declined the conferment of an honorary degree on him by the Nahda International University College (NIUC), Khartoum, Sudan because of security challenges.
Mr. Muhammad Bello, the Special Adviser to Gov. Tambuwal on Media and Publicity disclosed this in a statement he issued to the newsmen on Tuesday in Sokoto.
” The award has been slated as part of the graduation ceremony of 38 students of Sokoto state extraction who bagged degrees in Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Laboratory Science and Information Communication Technology (ICT) at the Ibn Sina University (ISU) and NIUC.
” Tambuwal declined the offer shortly after his arrival in Khartoum, informing the management of the two universities that he would not take their offers because of the prevailing situation of insecurity in Nigeria.
“I won’t be able to oblige your humble request because of the condition in which my nation finds itself at this time.
” But you may wish to defer the conferment until a later date. For now, I have come to see my children and wards,” he told Prof. Qaribullah Abbas, the Acting Dean of NIUC, ” Bello said.
