The
Vice-Chancellor of Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA)
Prof. Musibau Adewunmi Akanji, has explained his vision for the
development of the school.
Prof. Akanji said he had commenced steps that would assist in moving the institution from its present 21st position among Nigerian universities to the best university in the nation.
He said: ‘’I want to improve on our national ranking and secure African recognition for the university. My happiness is that with the caliber of the people I met on ground in the university, I believe within the next one year, our ranking will be improved.’’
Akanji, who is the 6th vice-chancellor of the institution, spoke to journalists in Minna, the Niger State capital, promising to, within the first one year of his five years tenure, propel the institution to international ranking as well as a hub of scholarly distinction.
He also promised to run an open administration where everybody would be carried along before major decisions are taken.
The vice-chancellor said: “I promise to be a listening leader and not a boss.”
FUTMINNA was recently adjudged by the National Universities Commission (NUC) as one of the two institutions with A+ ranking among all Nigerian universities.
Prof. Akanji, who hails from Essa Ward, Offa, Kwara State, was born on January 4, 1953 and succeeded Prof. Mohammed Salihu Audu, whose tenure ended on November 26, 2012.
