    The Governing Council of Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) has approved the appointment of Professor Mohammed Khalid Othman as the substantive vice-chancellor of the university.

    The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Ali Abubakar Jatau, announced the appointment shortly after the 36th Special Meeting held at the Grand Amber Hotel and Suites, Dutse, Jigawa State.

    A statement issued by the Director, Information and Protocol of the institution, Nasiru M. Abdul, said Othman’s appointment followed the submission and consideration of the report of the Joint Council/Senate Selection Board on the appointment of a substantive vice-chancellor for the university.

    The statement quoted the chairman of the governing council as saying that: “The emergence of Prof. Othman followed a rigorous selection process involving 17 shortlisted applicants for the position.”

    He said at the close of the receipt of applications for the vacant position, 28 interested candidates applied for the position, while the search team identified three additional candidates.

    “The 17 short-listed applicants, who were invited for the interview, participated in the rigorous and transparent selection process after which the selection board submitted the top three performing candidates to the Governing Council to select and approve the appointment of one of them as the vice-chancellor,” he said.

    The new vice-chancellor, born July 22, 1962, in Bindawa Local Government Area of Katsina State, is an Agricultural Engineer from Ahmadu Bello Zaria.

    He attended Bindawa Primary School between 1970 and 1977; Government Secondary School, Funtua, 1977 to 1982; and School of Basic Studies, ABU Zaria, 1982 to 1983.

    He was at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria between 1984 and 1988; 1997 and 2001; as well as 2003 and 2007 for his first, second and third degrees respectively.

    Othman has had a distinguished career from an Assistant Lecturer to Professorship and has held different positions as teacher, researcher and administrator.

    He was a one-time Executive Director of the National Agricultural Extension Research and Liaison Services (NAERLS), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and presently an internal member of the Governing Council, representing the Senate.

    STL Capital, COPE Sustain Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

    STL Trustees Limited has reaffirmed its partnership with the Care Organization Public Enlightenment (COPE), extending their three-year collaboration that has so far provided free screenings for over 300 women and reached thousands more through awareness campaigns.

    Speaking at the last screening event, Managing Director of STL Trustees, Funmi Ekundayo, described the initiative as one of the company’s most impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes. She noted that the partnership with COPE has helped raise awareness on the importance of early detection and encouraged women to prioritise their health.

    The event, which took place in Lagos, brought together many women who took part in free breast cancer screenings and health awareness sessions 

    Ekundayo said: “At STL, we have several CSR projects we partner with different organisations on, but I can tell you that one of the CSR projects that is very close and dear to our hearts is the one for breast cancer awareness. We have been supporting and partnering with COPE for about three years now, this is the third year, because we see the impact we are able to make with this free screening for about 100 women and more each year.”

    She revealed that beyond the direct beneficiaries of the screenings, “thousands of women have come across the reports and learned one or two things about protecting themselves and doing regular checks stressing that early detection saves lives.

    Ekundayo also emphasised the need to demystify breast cancer discussions, saying stigma remains a major barrier to treatment. “Many women are ashamed to speak out when they notice something unusual. We must change that mindset as a community by supporting and not stigmatizing those affected,” she said.

    She also added that women often juggle multiple responsibilities, home, career, and caregiving which makes them prone to neglecting their health. Only when you are healthy can you truly support your family and your career,” she said, reaffirming STL’s commitment to continue partnering with COPE and other organisations to promote wellness among women.

    On her part, Chief Executive Officer of COPE, Ebunola Anozie, commended STL Trustees for its consistent support, noting that the partnership has significantly strengthened the organization’s capacity to reach more women.

    “October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we believe that if you detect cancer early, you can save your life and your breast. You don’t need to remove it if you detect it early,” Anozie explained. “Our collaboration with STL Trustees has been fantastic. You can see the turnout today women are coming out without fear, learning about self-examination, and getting free breast ultrasound scans.”

    Anozie said COPE’s approach goes beyond one-off screenings, adding that beneficiaries are encouraged to maintain regular checks. “We lecture them, give them educational posters, and emphasize monthly self-examinations so they can detect any change early,” she said.

    For STL Capital Group, the breast cancer awareness campaign is one of several CSR interventions aimed at empowering communities. Ekundayo disclosed that the company also supports educational initiatives such as providing school supplies to pupils and funding teenage reorientation programmes like Teens Think.
