The acting Vice Chancellor of Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology Alieru in Kebbi state, Prof. Isma’il A. Mungadi, has resigned his appointment.

In a letter to the pro-chancellor and chairman of the Governing Council of the university on Friday, Mungadi complained about difficulty in discharging his mandate.

The letter read in part: “I accepted the appointment of Ag. VC with clear understanding of the mandate entrusted to me to stabilise the University, strengthen its governance processes, restore confidence and academic integrity and facilitate its transition to substantive leadership.

“Recent development increasingly made it difficult to discharge my mandate with the independence, effectiveness and institutional harmony necessary for successful accomplishment.”

According to him, he made sincere efforts to work but he regretted that, “Under the prevailing circumstances, I may no longer be able to satisfactorily accomplish the objectives to which I accepted the appointment,” and opted to resign.
