Among the top contenders are former Dean of Business and Social Sciences, Professor Hassan Salihu, former Head of Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, Prof. Ahmad Abdulsalam, former Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), Prof. Bayo Lawal, among others.

The university is being meticulous in the selection process and the best candidate who meets the criteria stipulated by the university would be chosen”, said a source privy to the ongoing process.
