The management of Muhammad Kamalud-deen University, Ilorin, has made arrangements for Mai-Martaba Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari CFR, the Chairman of the Kwara State Traditional Rulers Council and Emir of Ilorin, to become the university’s first Chancellor.
This is stated in a statement released on Thursday by Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, the spokesman for the emir.
The event will take place during the first-ever matriculation ceremony of the institution’s inaugural group of students at the University grounds near the Ogidi-Oloje area.
The statement reads: “His Royal Highness, Alhaji Sulu-Gambari, a retired Justice of the Court of Appeal and 11th Emir of Ilorin will be formally installed as the 1st Chancellor of Muhammad Kamalud-deen University, Ilorin, on Saturday 11th May 2024.
“The monarch had before now served as the Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State and Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State and was recently redeployed to Bayero University Kano by the federal government.
“Alhaji Sulu-Gambari has over the years demonstrated tremendous interest in the growth and development of education, morality and social values in the Ilorin Emirate and beyond since his enthronement.”
The statement therefore urged sons and daughters of Ilorin Emirate and beyond to be part of the historic event.
