All hail Prof Pate, communication giant

Professor Umaru Pate

While some are busy seeking a means toward their professional career and for recognition, others are busy building themselves and every environment they find themselves, it gives them recognition with ease.

On Thursday, December 17, 2020, I came across a post on social media, then boom, a mentor and a lecturer, Abdul Ahmad Burra posted a pleasing story that made me happy. A brother also, Mal. Hamza from Kashere informed me about the new development.

It’s an achievement to the entire pen profession; one of our intellectual, eloquent, vibrant and gentleman emerged as the Vice Chancellor of Federal University Kashere. To God be the glory!

The professor has tutored thousands of students in the last 26 years at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) and other institutions of learning, home and abroad, and can be found in virtually all sectors.

Until his appointment, Prof. Umaru A. Pate was the Dean, School of Postgraduate Studies, Bayero University Kano. His appointment as the third substantive vice chancellor of the Federal University Kashere, could be said to be one of the best in the year 2020. The appointment is effective from 11th February, 2021.

I believe Prof. Pate will take the university to greater heights as I wish him Allah’s guidance and protection.
