Ahmadu Bello University will confer a 'Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award' on the Speaker of House of Representatives, Abbas Tajuddeen, in appreciation of his remarkable contributions to the development of the institution.
The Speaker Tajuddeen, an ABU alumnus, will be honoured largely for bringing various intervention projects, including 60 KVA solar powered mini grid and sport facilities, to the university.
The speaker is among the 156 staff, service units, and alumni to be recognized for the year 2025 as recommended by the University Reward and Recognition System Committee.
This was contained in a report to the University Management by the committee led by Prof Sani A Abdullahi, a finance expert at the Department of Finance, Ahmadu Bello University.
According to the report, all the awardees will be formally honoured by the university at a ceremony which will be announced in due course.
The committee recommended 140 staff, a university committee, a research group, a corporate body, three service delivery units, a deanery, and nine alumni for recognition.
They will be recognized for their outstanding contributions to the objectives of the university as well as national and international developments.
This is the third time the institution is conducting such an exercise since the establishment of the committee three years ago.
Prof Adamu Ahmed, Vice Chancellor, ABU who commended the committee for what he called a "thorough job", congratulated the awardees on the deserving honour and expressed confidence that the recognition would instill trust and motivate employees.
