Top FG Official Reveals Why He Vacated Office With 3 Years Left

A top government official has revealed why he vacated office with three years left.

News ToGo reports that the top official had announced that he would leave office and kept to his word. The immediate past Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Abubakar Rasheed has now explained why he took that decision.

Prof. Rasheed gave the explanation on Friday at a brief handover ceremony at NUC headquarters, in Abuja. He said that he did it to fulfill his ambition of attaining the status of Professor Emeritus at Bayero University Kano (BUK) which he cannot achieve if he remains in office till the end of his tenure in 2026.

The don noted that he was fast approaching the age of 70 years which is very important in his career. According to him, staff retire at BUK once they attain 70 years. However, one can only be confirmed as a Professor Emeritus if the person retires in active academic service at the university and not outside.

Consequently, he has always had his eyes focused on becoming a Professor Emeritus. To make that happen, he had to resign from his current position at the NUC. Professor Rasheed further explained that he never wanted to serve a second term at NUC but the reappointment came anyway.

Noting that he had no option than to resume, he stated that he had to quit now since he was approaching the critical age 70 when he would be retiring from active service. That was why he decided that it was time to return to the classroom to continue teaching. He would be doing that until his final resignation when he would be confirmed as Professor Emeritus to achieve his lifelong ambition.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
