“Really NUBASS need full time president, I wanted to complete the constitutional tenure of mandate you given me but the state government decided not to work with us, I can remain president despite the challenges but Ill will have affected the innocent Bauchi State students, I therefore resign because the public interest is above my personal feelings” Gamawa added.
