The Federal University of Technology, Minna, has appointed Abdullahi Bala as its seventh vice-chancellor.
Bala’s appointment was approved by the school’s governing council on Tuesday at its 125th meeting, according to the registrar and secretary to council, Victoria Kolo.
Bala would assume his new duties as vice-chancellor on Sunday, December 3, which is when the tenure of the incumbent vice-chancellor will end.
The federal government recently granted the varsity the licence to engage in mining activities. This was to enable the university widen its revenue base and open up new vistas for academic development.
