Professor Tahir Mamman has just been nominated by President Bola Tinubu as one of his ministers. The academic luminary was successfully screened and confirmed by the National Assembly. A well-deserved nomination as it is, when I tuned in to the live broadcast of the ministerial screening, a captivating scene unfolded. What was supposed to be academic grilling of some sort, turned out be a moment encomium showering. The atmosphere was charged with admiration and respect by the lawmakers, including former students of Prof. Mamman, who stepped forward for testimonies. Their heartfelt testimonials painted a vivid portrait of a dedicated mentor and visionary educator.
