The statement detailed that the appointment process began with approval from the Governing Council, which advertised the vacant positions of Registrar, Bursar, and University Librarian in two national newspapers and on the university’s official platform.
Following this, a Selection Committee was formed, supported by three independent consultants assigned to each position. After a thorough, transparent interview process, the top candidates were recommended and duly appointed based on merit.
The staff pointed out that the entire process adhered strictly to principles of fairness, transparency, and integrity, questioning the motives behind the anonymous claims.
They expressed pride in the university’s achievements and reaffirmed their support for the Council’s leadership, particularly commending Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Council, Alhaji Abdulahi Bardi, for his visionary guidance.
The NMU staff also condemned efforts to sow discord and spread misinformation within the academic community.
They stressed that NMU’s progress is visible and verifiable, and reiterated their commitment to building a world-class maritime institution that serves national and global industry needs.
They urged the media, stakeholders, and the public to disregard the unfounded accusations and continue supporting the university’s laudable achievements.
