FEDERAL UNIVERSITY GASHUA (FUGA) APPROVES ONE-YEAR TENURE EXTENSION FOR THREE PRINCIPAL OFFICERS
The Governing Council of the Federal University Gashua (FUGA), Yobe State, has approved a one-year extension of the tenure of three principal officers of the University.
The decision was reached at the Council's 32nd Regular Meeting, held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
The extension affects the University's Registrar, Bursar and University Librarian, whose current tenures have been extended for an additional one year in accordance with the provisions of the Federal University Gashua Act.
THREE FUGA PRINCIPAL OFFICERS AFFECTED
The principal officers whose tenures have been extended are:
- Dr Abubakar Manmuda — Registrar
- Mallam Muhammad Ahmad Ali — Bursar
- Dr Adam Gambo Saleh — University Librarian
The decision allows the three officers to continue in their respective positions for another year.
REASON FOR THE ONE-YEAR EXTENSION
According to the University, the extension is in line with Section 5(4) of the Federal University Gashua Act.
The provision empowers the Governing Council, upon being satisfied with the performance of a Registrar, Bursar or Librarian, to extend the officer's tenure for a further period of one year only.
The Council's approval therefore provides for the continuation of the three principal officers in their respective roles for the additional one-year period.
