… ‘It’s a challenge to do more’ says Governor

Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum on Saturday emerged University of Ibaban’s alumnus of the year 2020, the the fifth person to be such honoured since 1973.

He also bagged the distinguished alumnus award of the premier university.

The decision to recognize Zulum was reached by all time graduates of the University from all parts of the world through their alumni association.

Zulum, a professor of soil and water engineering, was a student of the University from 1997 to 1998 during which he bagged an Msc in agricultural engineering, before obtaining his Phd at the University of Maiduguri in 2009.

The presentation held at Dame Edith Okowa Auditorium, Dr. Michael Omolayole Alumni Complex at the University of Ibadan.

The event was attended by Governors of Osun, and Kwara States.

Dr. Kemi Anthony Emina, immediate past president of the association, who handed Zulum’s award, described the Governor’s performance in office as outstanding.

In their separate remarks, Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola and former Minister of Health, Prof. Issac F. Adewole both commended Governor Zulum for his quality leadership in Borno.

“I personally see this award as a challenge.
Let me assure you that this will further encourage me to do more” Zulum said in his reaction.

The Governor also expressed appreciation to his lecturers while he was a student at the University of Ibadan back in 1997 and 1998.

Zulum said he would work on strengthening the relationship between the University of Ibadan and University of Maiduguri.

The Governor was accompanied to the ceremony by former Governor Kashim Shettima, Senators Mohammed Ali Ndume and Abubakar Kyari, Speaker of the State Assembly, Abdulkarim Lawan, some principal officers assembly members, Commissioner of Agriculture, Engr. Bukar Talba, and Special Adviser to the Governor on Protocol, Alhaji Ahmed Sanda.

Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman AbdulRazak, received a posthumous award honoring his late father.
