President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Bishop Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Kaduna State.  

The announcement was made in a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.

The statement also listed the appointment of principal officers for the university, including Prof. Qurix Williams Barnabas as Vice-Chancellor, Sanusi Gambo Adamu as Registrar, Ibrahim Dalhat as Bursar, and Prof. Daniel Abubakar as University Librarian.
