A Lieutenant Colonel, Abubakar-Surajo Imam, has become the first serving Nigerian Army Officer to become a Professor.

In a statement on Friday, the Registrar of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna State, AM Tukur, said Imam is from the department of Mechatronics Engineering in the institution.

Tukur said the promotion was ratified during the NDA council meeting in September and took effect from October 1, 2023.

The registrar said the council’s decision was a reflection of the confidence and recognition of the contributions of Imam to his department.

Tukur said the new professor has provided exemplary services and upheld the standard of excellence expected in his field.

He said: “This recognition not only honours Professor Imam but also highlights the commitment of the Nigerian Defence Academy to acknowledging and rewarding outstanding contributions within its academic community.

“On behalf of the Commandant and staff of the Academy, I sincerely congratulate you on your well-deserved promotion.

“It is expected that you will continue to work hard to justify the confidence.”
