Professor Abubakar Adamu Rasheed mni MFR is a patriotic Nigerian that is being commended every blessed day for his exemplary leadership qualities. He is gifted with all the needed for success in life, with  a rich curriculum vitae, and is truly educated and disciplined.

A Bayero University Kano, A.B.U Zaria and University of Nottingham graduate, he was among some of the best students the universities have ever produced during his days.

Ever since his assumption of office he not only proved his arm chair critics wrong, he also launched a revolution in the transformation of NUC that remain indelible in the annals of history. Prof. Rasheed doesn’t leave files on his table untreated. He treats files every day. Like the saying in Military terminology, SOJA come SOJA go, but Barracks remain, he proves to be the type of people that have more time for their office assignments. In that wise a job well-done.

Prof. Rasheed is a man who understands the reality of our country. He respects people no matter how down trodden they may think they are. And one good thing with him is that he maintain his old childhood friends and his school mates of early 60s&70s .

He hates dishonesty, sycophancy, deception, gossip and cheating. Prof. Rasheed is always ready to receive people at home and in the office and believe in first come first serve.

If Sardauna was Namiji Uban Yan Boko, Prof. Rasheed is the juggernaut of administration. A person of integrity, dynamic, principled, versatile, articulate, outstanding and a gentleman among gentlemen.

A typical Northerner who cares for Nigeria’s development as a whole, and doesn’t discriminate from whichever section of the country one comes, Muslims or Christians.

If only we had more people like him, the country would be a far better place than what is has become today.

Prof. Rasheed has held different appointments in the country like being the MD New Nigerian Newspaper, VC Bayero University, Kano, and currently Executive Secretary NUC (National Universities Commission). He also holds several and his record in many regard cannot be disputed.
