President Tinubu renames federal university in Azare after Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi. Mr Tinubu announced this on Saturday during a condolence visit to the state government and members of the family of the late scholar.
President Bola Tinubu has renamed the Federal University of Medical Sciences, Azare, as Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi University.
He announced this on Saturday during a condolence visit to the state government and members of the family of the late scholar.
“From today onward, I will announce a change of name to immortalise him from the Federal University of Medical Sciences, Azare, to be known as Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi University,” the president said.
Mr Tinubu described the late Sheikh as a man who loved humanity, brought impactful knowledge to the people, and worked hard on the path of the Almighty Allah.
“We all came from the Almighty Allah, and we will return to Him. And the best thing for us is to continue to pray for peace, stability of our country, economic prosperity, and development and to live the values that he left behind.

“May Allah grant him Al-Janah Firdaus. May God continue to keep all of you safe, keep our country together, and give us peace and prosperity,” he said.
Governor Bala Mohammed commended the president over the condolence visit to the government and the family of the late Sheikh.
Mr Mohammed said that for the president to have come down himself after previously sending Vice President Kashim Shettima during the burial rites showed the kind of affinity and respect he had for the late Sheikh, the family, and the people of the state.
“We are really grateful and delighted for this visit,” he said.
Earlier, Bashir Sheikh Dahiru-Bauchi, who spoke on behalf of the family, expressed gratitude to the president for sending a high-profile delegation to attend the funeral prayer of the late Sheikh and for his condolence visit to the family.
Mr Tinubu headed to the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport immediately after the visit to depart for Lagos.

ICPC Formally Established A Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) At Andal Science Academy, Kano
ICPC Formally Established A Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) At Andal Science Academy, Kano
Cultivating Integrity: ICPC Plants Anti-Corruption Seed at Andal Science Academy
In a resolute effort to curb the pervasive menace of corruption, the Kano State office of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has formally established a Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) at Andal Science Academy, Kano.
The initiative marks a strategic shift towards prevention rather than mere prosecution, targeting the conscience of the nation’s future leaders.
The Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Barrister Ahmad Muhammad Wada, was represented at the ceremony by Chief Superintendent Sani Tukur and articulated the core philosophy behind the club.
He explained that its primary aim is to reshape the mindset of the younger generation, actively involving them in the anti-corruption crusade long before they assume positions of power or responsibility.
Addressing the students directly, Barrister Wada urged them to become courageous informants against malpractice, reporting any incidence of corruption to relevant authorities, including the ICPC, through the college principal.
The principal, he noted, would serve as the club’s patron, creating a safe and structured channel for whistleblowing within the school environment.
The Commissioner further emphasised that the club is designed not only to detect wrongdoing but also to thoroughly reorient students to the ills of corruption. He called on them to imbibe the virtues of integrity, discipline, and honesty, insisting that these qualities are non‑negotiable for the leaders of tomorrow who must steer Nigeria towards a more transparent future.
On his part, the principal of Andal Science Academy, Mr. Sam Ade, warmly commended the ICPC’s efforts to establish SACs in various schools across the federation. He assured the Commission of his management’s unwavering support, pledging to nurture the club to yield fruitful results and to embed its anti‑corruption ethos into the broader life of the academy.
Following the speeches, the executive members of the newly formed club were formally sworn in. They were then sensitised on the club’s rules, objectives, and operational boundaries, ensuring that from the outset, leadership was anchored in clarity and purpose rather than mere enthusiasm.

ICPC
The atmosphere reached a festive pitch when a gathering of about eighty students broke into spirited chanting, dancing, and singing of anti‑corruption slogans. Their visible energy and joy suggested that for these young people, the fight against corruption need not be grim—it could be a collective, vibrant, and even celebratory movement for change.
In sum, the launch of the Student Anti‑Corruption Club at Andal Science Academy is far more than a school event. It is a thematic declaration that integrity must be cultivated from childhood, that schools are vital frontiers in the battle against graft, and that with the right nurturing, today’s students can indeed become tomorrow’s most incorruptible citizens.
