Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has congratulated Dr. Jameel Yusha’u over his appointment as Editor-in-Chief of the popular Africa Policy Journal, Harvard.

Ganduje’s message is contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Abba Anwar, on Saturday in Kano.

The governor praised Yusha’u,  being the first Northerner who got the position there at Harvard, a citadel of scholarship.

“We are proud to have young scholars like you excelling at the global arena.

“You are a turning point in media and communication studies. We learned that he did excellently well when he was the Lead Strategic Coordinator with Islamic Development Bank.

“As 2022-2023 Mid-Career Master in Public Administration at Harvard Kennedy School of Government,  and also an Edward Mason Fellow, Kano state is proud to have Jameel Yusha’u.

“On behalf of the government and good people of Kano state,  I am congratulating Yusha’u for ascending to this important position of the Editor-in-Chief of Africa Policy Journal. The first scholar to attend the position from Northern Nigeria,” he emphasised.

Yusha’u was a senior lecturer in Media and Politics at Northumbria University, Newcastle, United Kingdom,  and associate lecturer in Global Journalism, University of Sheffield.

He left Nigeria as a lecturer with the Department of Mass Communication, Bayero University, Kano.

Yusha’u has many published works to his credit at the global media/communication studies journals, such as Global Media Studies, Journal of Arab and Muslim Media Research, among others.
