The Governing Council of University of Abuja has approved the appointment of Prof. Hakeem Fawehinmi as the substantive Vice Chancellor with effect from Tuesday, February 10, 2026, for a single, non-renewable tenure of five years.
A statement by the university said the decision was reached during the Council’s 80th Extraordinary Meeting on Friday under the chairmanship of Distinguished Senator Dr. Olanrewaju Tejuoso.
Fawehinmi’s appointment comes after three successive acting vice chancellors were appointed following the exit of Prof Abdulrasheed N’Allah in July 2024.
