Kano State government demands apology….

Kano State Government on Sunday demanded an apology from the management of East Carolina University, over a controversial appointment, offered to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

Ganduje was reportedly offered an appointment by the American university as a Visiting Full Professor of e-governance and International Affairs on November 30, 2020 only for the offer to be revoked by the university’s Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Grant Hayes, in a letter dated December 4, 2020.

In a statement signed by the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, called for a disciplinary action against the faculty member who made the attempt to embarrass the governor, as the governor did not solicit for an appointment.
