Professor Umar Faruk Jibril has been re-elected to serve for the second term as the dean of the faculty of communication, Bayero University Kano.

He was elected alongside with Dr. Musa Adamu Labaran, who would serve as deputy dean.
Recall that in 2022 the erstwhile Kano state Commissioner for Information under Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was elected as the dean of the faculty to succeed Prof Mustapha Mallan.
In the election which took place on Wednesday, Jibril emerged unopposed and thus unanimously elected after an excellent first tenure.
Speaking to Top Daily News in his office shortly after the election, Jibril said his vision for the second tenure would gear towards creating more departments in the faculty and making the faculty more visible in all areas.
At the moment the departments under the faculty of communication include: Mass Communication, Information and Media Studies as well as Theatre and Performing Art.
