Ahmadu Bello University Zaria has awarded its staff from several departments, faculties, units, and institutes, in recognition of their meritorious services and contributions to the advancement of the University.
The event which took place at the university’s Yusufu Bala Usman Hall was organized by the Rewards and Recognition System Committee Chaired by Professor Sani Abdullahi.
Speaking at the event, Professional Abdullahi said the nomination of the awardees came after great scrutiny by the committee to ensure objectivity and credibility, adding that only less than 200 staff were nominated out of 13,000.
He added that the awards were given to motivate staff and promote healthy competition among them towards advancement of the university.
Professor Abdullahi also commended the current university administration for introducing and institutionalizing the Rewards and Recognition System which started in 2023, to recognize and appreciate the valuable contributions of staff, adding that there’s no moral boosting for an employee than to be recognized and appreciated by the employer.
In his closing remarks, the Vice Chancellor Professor Kabiru Bala hailed the recipients of the awards and urged them to increase their performance.
He also called on other staff to follow to get gingered and aspire to also win some of the awards.
