The university has awarded foreign scholarships to 43 students who graduated with first-class honours during its maiden convocation ceremony. This incredible achievement is a testament to MAAUN’s commitment to academic excellence and quality education.
The scholarships, announced by Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, the founder of MAAUN, will fully sponsor the beneficiaries to pursue Master’s degrees in any country of their choice across the world. A total of 492 students graduated from 12 academic programmes, with 43 graduating with First Class honours, 220 earning Second Class Upper degrees, and 229 graduating with Second Class Lower degrees.
The convocation ceremony was a grand affair, attended by dignitaries from across the country, including representatives of state governors, vice-chancellors of various universities, traditional rulers, senators, and other top government officials. Prof. Gwarzo congratulated the graduating students on their achievements and urged them to serve as worthy ambassadors of MAAUN wherever they go.
The best graduating student, Khadija Ibrahim Manzo of the Department of Human Resource Management, received ₦5 million from Prof. Gwarzo. MAAUN has grown rapidly since its inception in 2022, with 15 programmes across four schools, and has since expanded to 22 academic programmes across eight schools.
