Fani-Kayode Throws Weight Behind Pantami, As ASUU Questions Professorship

Former minister of Aviation and APC chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode has thrown his weight behind the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami following the controversy generated by his appointment as a Professor of Cybersecurity by the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO).

Fani-Kayode took to his social media page to show support to his party colleague, insisting Prof Pantami is eminently qualified for the post.

Fani-Kayode said, ” What has Isa Pantami done to ASUU? When will the hatred stop? Is it because he is Muslim? I know Pantami well & he is eminently qualified to be a Professor. Let us be guided by love & not hate. Lies, disinformation, prejudice & religious bigotry has blinded many in our country “

It will be recalled that the National President of The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke speaking on Monday during the National Executive Council of the Union, questioned the Professorship conferred on the Minister of Communications.

The NEC also rejected the recommendations of the ASUU FUTO chapter, which endorsed the appointment of Pantami as a Professor of Cybersecurity.
