Nigerian Public Universities may have closed down resulting from the staff industrial actions. It would appear that not all university activities are affected by the industrial actions, even though staff salaries have since been suspended in tune with the “no work no pay” policy.
Among the activities not affected by the industrial actions is the elevation of the academic staff.
One of the successful university dons who is elevated to the professorial position in Modibbo Adama University, MAU Yola, Adamawa state, is Abdullahi Bashir, the Vice Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, NIPR, Adamawa State Chapter.
Bashir’s contributions to the development of the Periscope Global Publishers Ltd could not also be over emphasised, the lead publisher, Adamu Muhammad Dodo would reveal.
A congratulatory statement Friday, issued by the Adamawa State Chapter Chairman of the NIPR, Dr Usman Ahmed Dadah reads:
“On behalf of the Executive Council & Members of the NIPR Adamawa state, I hereby congratulate our State Vice Chairman for his promotion as a Professor of Information Technology by the authorities of the Modibbo Adama University, MAU Yola.
“Professor Bashir, your elevation to the exalted position did not come to us as a surprise, considering your high intellectual capacity and capability.
“We pray that the new position will further bring out in you the hidden talents with the view to adding value to the society.
“Congratulations Once again”.
Similarly, the congratulatory message signed by the lead publisher of the Periscope Global and former NIPR Adamawa State Chapter Chairman, Adamu Muhammad Dodo expressed that “this is indeed a collective intellectual achievement, singularly represented by hardworking, patient Bashir.
“We join in enjoying the congratulations as we join in registering our congratulations, we enjoin the intellectual others in the academy from among us to take the celebratory baton.
“Ever before this day, we address you as Prof. The notice is indeed an acknowledgment of our collective wishes.
“Congratulations Prof Abdullahi Bashir, my brother with eloquent foresight, for such a great and final intellectual feat to be feasted soon.
“It is indeed a celebration in mourning as we lost many colleagues and friends during this trying times occasioned by industrial actions, considered as life sacrifice to be able to get tertiary education out of the maze”.
