Disclosing this, the chairman, Board of Trustees, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, said the developments underscored the institution’s commitment to academic excellence, leadership and innovation.

He said, “As the pro-chancellor and chairman of the Governing Council, Justice Augie will succeed Professor Julius Okojie, the former pro-chancellor of the university.” Meanwhile, Professor Al-Akaidi has been confirmed as the substantive vice-chancellor after serving in an acting role as well as Dean of the College of Science and Computing and deputy vice-chancellor responsible for research and innovation.

“Honourable Justice Augie, CON, JSC (Rtd), is a distinguished jurist and former Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. She obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Ife, Ile-Ife, in 1977 and subsequently became a barrister and solicitor of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1978 after attending the Nigerian Law School. She later enrolled at the University of Lagos to pursue her Master of Laws (LLM) in criminology between 1986 and 1987.

Her career shifted focus to academia, where she served as an assistant lecturer at Ahmadu Bello University. From 1984 to 1988, she worked as a law lecturer at the Nigerian Law School, teaching a course on evidence. In 1988, Honourable Justice Augie, CON, JSC (Rtd) began her judicial career and gradually advanced through the ranks. She was first appointed as Chief Magistrate in the Sokoto State Judiciary, until her appointment as a Judge of the High Court in 1992, a position she held until her elevation to the Court of Appeal in 2002.
