The President of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Prof. DeWayne Frazier, has extended heartfelt congratulations to the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University Dutse (FUD), Prof. Abdulkarim Sabo Mohammed, during the institution’s combined 8th and 9th convocation ceremonies held on Saturday, July 5, 2025.
Represented at the grand occasion by the Dean of the AUN School of Law, Prof. Bello Magaji, Prof. Frazier conveyed his admiration for the remarkable growth and academic strides recorded by FUD under the leadership of Prof. Mohammed. The ceremony, which attracted dignitaries from across Nigeria’s academic landscape, marked a significant milestone in the university’s journey towards excellence.
Prior to the convocation ceremony, the AUN President attended a thought-provoking convocation lecture delivered by the first Vice Chancellor of FUD and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri, Prof. JD Amin. Prof. Amin, an erudite academic, is a proud son of Adamawa State – the home of AUN.
Prof. Frazier described his interaction with Prof. Amin as enriching, noting that their discussions centered on areas of mutual academic interest and prospects for future collaboration.
The President’s representative also engaged with a group of AUN law students from Kano and Jigawa states who were present at the ceremony. The students used the avenue to share their practical suggestions to strengthen and grow the AUN School of Law, drawing from their experiences and expressing their aspirations in the legal profession.
