Condemnation trail Ganduje’s appointment by Carolina University

The recent controversial appointment of Kano State Governor, Abdulahi Ganduje as visiting lecturer by the Carolina University has been widely criticized.

Meanwhile, the Kano State Government on Sunday demanded an apology from the management of East Carolina University, over the appointment, offered to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

The state governor was reportedly offered an appointment by the American university to the position of Senior Mentoring Scholar and Visiting Full Professor of e-governance and International Affairs on November 30, 2020.

Recall that Ganduje’s spokesperson, Abba Anwar, had earlier on Tuesday said the governor’s appointment was contained in a letter sent to him by the school through a lecturer of the International Centre for IT and Development, Victor Mbarika, at the university’s College of Business in November.

But a statement on Sunday issued and signed by the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, called for a disciplinary action against the faculty member, who according to him stirred the controversy, in an attempt to embarrass the governor and the good people of the state.

“We are deeply saddened by the uproar, ignited by this controversial appointment, in an attempt, to embarrass the person of the governor and the good people of Kano State,” the statement read.
