A faction of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), led by Rev. Yakubu Pam, has lauded the appointment of Bishop Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the newly established Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Kaduna State.
In a statement, Pam said Kukah’s appointment was well deserved.
He said, “Kukah has consistently championed the cause of justice, equity, and the advancement of human dignity, always working tirelessly to build bridges of understanding and peace.”
Pam explained that Kukah’s appointment as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman would greatly enhance the growth and development of the university and make it a centre of academic excellence.
“This recognition is a testament to Kukah’s immense contributions to the development of our society, his unwavering commitment to education, and exemplary leadership in both religious and civic spheres.
“As a spiritual and compassionate leader, he consistently championed the cause of justice, equity, and the advancement of human dignity, always working tirelessly to build bridges of understanding and peace.
“His appointment to this academic institution is a clear reflection of his outstanding credentials and dedication to empowering the next generation of leaders.
“Northern CAN is confident that his wisdom, integrity, and wealth of experience will greatly enhance the growth and development of the university and make it a centre of academic excellence.”
Also, the Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP), in a statement by its Chairman, Isaac Abrak said it joined others across the Southern Kaduna region to celebrate Kukah’s appointment.
Abrak said the appointments, alongside the establishment of two other critical institutions, were a clear demonstration of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to fairness, equity, and the inclusive distribution of the dividends of democracy, even in areas where he did not receive massive electoral support.
