Office of the Bauchi State Head of Civil Service has noticed with dismay, the unfortunate event of Monday, 25th July, 2022, where some students were said to have protested over the appointment of the Provost of Aliko Dangote College of Nursing Sciences, Bauchi.
According to a press release by, Umar Sa’idu, the action of the students was either due to lack of understanding of the process of appointing the Provost or they are misled by some vested interest to act in that manner.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of the Provost is the prerogative of His Excellency, the Governor. But let it be said in clear terms that the Secretary to the State Government, as the Chief Scribe of the state, is a major stakeholder not only in the Aliko Dangote College of Nursing Sciences, but every other institution in the state”, Umar Sa’idu added.
He further stated that, “However, he has no preferred candidate as to who becomes the Provost but, as all other good meaning individuals, has interest in who will serve the state better” .
“In view of the above, the Head of Service is hereby appealing to all parties concern to maintain the status quo and await further directives from the government”, Umar Sa’idu concluded.
