Mele, who took over the office from Vice Chancellor, Prof. Aliyu Shugaba, was renowned for his resilience in the controversial Adamawa State governorship election, where he worked against all odds to declare the rightful winner of the election.
Mele’s emergence as the vice chancellor followed the expiration of the 5-year tenure of the outgone Vice-chancellor, University of Maiduguri, Prof Aliyu Shugaba.
Shugaba, on Monday, handed over the mantle of leadership to Mele, who, until this new appointment, was the deputy vice-chancellor, Central Administration of the University.
