Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State yesterday revealed that he still
had the intention of going back to school to acquire a PhD degree after
the expiration of his tenure as governor.
The governor, who is an agricultural economist, made this known when he
received the governing council of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID)
led by the pro-chancellor and chairman of council, Alhaji Balama Manu in
his office.
According to the governor, his ambition is to become an “intellectual in the true sense”.
“I have a Masters degree, but after the political interregnum I wish to
go back and get a PhD so that one can become a true intellectual in the
real sense,” he said.
He said though he left the University of Maiduguri where he lectured
for two years for the banking sector, he is still passionate about
returning to the classroom.
Gov. Shettima noted that although he achieved financial breakthrough
in the banking sector, he still prefers to be addressed as a former
lecturer.
The governor added that the university community remains the best as it accommodates diverse ideologies.
