  "account": "The University for Development Studies (UDS) recently inaugurated Professor Mohammed Muniru Iddrisu as its sixth Vice-Chancellor. Notable attendees included academics, chiefs, development partners, government officials, and prominent personalities. Iddrisu committed to leading the university with humility and gratitude, acknowledging the significant responsibilities that come with the role. He emphasized that leadership is a public trust, measured by the lives improved and opportunities created, rather than the prominence of the office.\n\nIddrisu outlined a vision for UDS to become a world-class university that delivers quality education, advances innovative research, and contributes to community development. He aimed to enhance academic excellence and holistic student development through rigorous programs, regular curriculum review, improved quality assurance, teaching, and assessment, and meaningful student support. He stressed the importance of transparency in governance, evidence-based decision-making, clear responsibilities, and prudent resource management.\n\nAddressing financial matters, Iddrisu pledged to pursue financial growth and sustainability through carefully managed income-generating activities while recognizing the vital role of public funding. He sought to broaden the university’s resource base by mobilizing alumni and philanthropic support, developing strategic ventures, and ensuring professional governance of all initiatives. He called on the university community to provide maximum support to ensure the successful achievement of academic excellence and development.\n\nThe Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak, congratulated Iddrisu and commended the previous Vice-Chancellor, Professor Seidu Al-Hassan, for his leadership. He urged Iddrisu to lead with a listening heart and bring positive change to the university community. Apaak emphasized that the symbol of authority received by Iddrisu represents service and urged him to leave a legacy that earns the university’s trust. He reaffirmed the Ministry of Education’s commitment to support national development through collaboration with the governing council, staff, and the entire university community.",
