Professor Armaya’u Hamisu Bichi: A Round Peg In a Round Hole By Abdullahi Ismail
POLITICS DIGEST– Inherently, conventional wisdom and etiquette will demand that i start by jumping on the bandwagon to formally Congratulate you on your meritorious appointment as the substantive Vice Chancellor of our modest citadel of learning, Federal University Dutsinma. May Almighty Allah lead your pathway to a successful and hinge free tenure in office.
A complex institution of FUDMA caliber need a leader with great organisational skills who is deeply humanitarian and committed to fairness and peace to take positions of service. The fact that Professor Armaya’u Bichi possesses all of these leadership qualities has made him an exception that prove the rule. Professor Armaya’u outstanding performance over the time in his previous capacity as acting Vice Chancellor were too numerous that it was very necessary to reward his efforts with a second bite at the cherry as the substantive Vice Chancellor of the University.
Being exceptionally different made Professor Armaya’u Bichi a target for the grey cats in the dark, who are doing everything possible to pull him down from the ladder of accomplishment.
The In-judicial nature of the court order and petition inter alia, to restrain Professor Armaya’u Bichi from legitimately occupying the office of the Vice Chancellor on permanent ground is injucundity and lack legality in merit for its enforcement. It is not a surprise that the complaints and petitions press against Professor Armaya’u Bichi have come from monochromatic individuals who are at a time beneficiary of the same procedure that appointed Professor Armaya’u Bichi as Vice Chancellor.
The University is currently riding the stormy seas of adversary, and Professor Armaya’u is the only rising tide capable lifting FUDMA boats out of that stormy adversary. Federal University Dutsinma is not just the institution with million bricks, but the thousand hearts that carry more dreams than the night sky has stars. This University is the emotions, our stories and our love for each other.
Professor Armaya’u is a leader who can walk ahead in times of trouble, to show the road forwards, and then in the good times walk behind in a role of support and steady nurture. Only this dynamic style can bring strength to the entire FUDMA community.
Professor Armaya’u Bichi has got all it takes to be the greatest Vice Chancellor in FUDMA history. Everyone in the University and beyond trusted and adored him for his integrity and good intentions. Lead on our hero! No evil shall befall you Insha Allah!
Comrade Abdullahi Ismail is the Pioneer SUG president FUDMA
