The President of the MAAUN Group of Universities, Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, has commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing Salisu Salisu as the substantive provost of the Federal College of Agricultural Produce Technology, FCAPT.

Mr Gwarzo described the appointment as timely and well deserved, saying Mr Salisu’s track record, commitment to excellence and performance as acting provost made him qualified for the position.

In a statement, the MAAUN president said the appointment reflected the Tinubu administration’s recognition of competence, dedication and experience in strengthening the country’s agricultural and educational institutions.

“I am delighted that Mr President has entrusted this important responsibility to a hardworking, disciplined and dedicated administrator,” Mr Gwarzo said.

“Having served the institution for many years, Dr Salisu possesses a deep understanding of the college’s strengths, challenges and enormous potential.

“I have no doubt that under his leadership, FCAPT will witness remarkable growth and greater academic excellence.”

Mr Gwarzo said the appointment came at a time when the federal government was placing renewed emphasis on agriculture as a key driver of economic diversification, food security and national development.

“With President Tinubu prioritising agriculture, I am confident that Dr Salisu will provide the visionary leadership needed to reposition the college to produce highly skilled graduates and professionals who will contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s agricultural transformation and national development,” he said.

He congratulated Mr Salisu on the appointment and urged him to justify the confidence reposed in him by leading the institution with integrity, innovation and inclusiveness.

Mr Gwarzo expressed optimism that FCAPT would grow into a leading centre of excellence in agricultural education, research and innovation under the new provost.

“On behalf of the management, staff and students of the MAAUN Group of Universities, I sincerely thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for this thoughtful appointment.

“I also congratulate Dr Salisu Salisu and the entire FCAPT community on this milestone,” he said.
