Isa Muhammad Maishanu

Professor Isa Muhammad Maishanu serves as the Commissioner for Higher Education in Sokoto State, Nigeria. He is known for his commitment to improving the educational infrastructure and academic environment at Sokoto State University (SSU), where he has been vocal about the challenges facing the institution. Recently, he came into the spotlight for criticizing the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) for their strike action, which he describes as politically motivated and detrimental to the progress made by the current administration in revitalizing the university. Under his leadership, the government has worked to restore essential services and improve the conditions of the university, but he emphasizes the need for cooperation from the academic union to ensure stability and continuity in education.
