A member of the Governing Council of Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic (ATAP), Bauchi, Jibrin S. Jibrin, Esq., has resigned from his position with immediate effect.
Jibrin has served on the council since 2020. It was gathered that he has already submitted his resignation letter to Governor Bala Mohammed.
In the letter, dated February 19, 2025, Jibrin, the immediate past Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Bauchi Branch, stated that his decision to step down was a result of “deep reflection, consultation, and conscience searching.”
His resignation was prompted by the recent leadership reshuffle within the polytechnic’s governing council, where the late Sen. Lawal Yahaya Gumau (who passed away last Tuesday) was appointed to replace Dr. Abubakar Sirinbai Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi as Chairman.
Despite his resignation, Jibrin expressed gratitude to the Bauchi State Governor for the opportunity to serve. He reaffirmed his commitment to the progress of the state and stressed the importance of accountability in public service.
He also urged leaders to establish a reward system for those who showed dedication, loyalty, and sacrifice during electioneering campaigns.
Jibrin offered prayers for the continued success of ATAP, Bauchi State, and Nigeria at large.
Jibrin, also a former National President of the National Union of Bauchi State Students (NUBASS), currently serves as a member of the Governing Council of the NBA Human Rights Institute.
He holds the traditional titles of Jakkadan Tirwun, Barden Galambi, and Dan Malikin Tirwun and hails from Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
