SPECIAL REPORT: About one-third of Nigeria’s ministers attended same university
Eighteen ministers also bagged degrees from foreign institutions. 5 min read
Thirteen of Nigeria’s current 44 ministers graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University, an extensive review of their official resumes have shown.
A PREMIUM TIMES’ review of the details further shows that all the 13 obtained only their first degrees from the 58-year-old institution formerly named the University of Northern Nigeria.
The only exemption is the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad Bello, who bagged both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business administration from the university, in 1980 and 1987 respectively, after which he graduated from the International University of Africa, Sudan, in 1994.

This month I’m conducting a series of interviews devoted to the reopening of in-person instruction in the Davis Joint Unified School District. Last week I spoke with DJUSD Superintendent John Bowes, and I have two interviews today: teachers Amy George and Dianna Stommel. Dianna is also the current president of the Davis Teachers Association. Next week, I’ll speak to parents with different opinions about reopening.
Both teachers share what s it been like to teach remotely this year, and how they ve worked to build and maintain community in their classrooms. We also discuss what would make them feel safe and valued as the shift to hybrid and in-person instruction commences. Dianna addresses the DTA s position on reopening.

This will be the first time that the school board trustees discuss the specific proposals for return to campus during open session the school board’s discussions up to this point have been largely conceptual, while staff has researched how the various options would play out in the context of the Davis school district and its facilities.
