After a successful Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Kano State, the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS) has re-elected the duo of Dr. Muhammad Sirajo Aliyu and Dr. Charles Onyeukwu, as President and Vice President respectively.
The re-election last week, which signaled members’ quest for continuity, also noted members’ trust and confidence towards Dr. Aliyu, whose impactful first term earned him a second, as President.
Dr. Aliyu, a respected Associate Professor of Computer Science and Director of ICT at Federal University, Dutse, has become known for his commitment to democratizing technology.
Under his leadership, ICT initiatives reached grassroots communities, reinforcing the belief that digital access should be both widespread and empowering.
“The membership has delivered a clear mandate,” observers noted, reflecting widespread approval of Aliyu’s leadership and vision.
Aligned with the President’s re-election, Dr. Charles Onyeukwu, a former Council Member, elevated to the post of Vice President, brings stability to the NCS leadership while opening space for new ideas and collaborations.
Other elected officers include:
- Shulammite Ileibiyi, elected Chair of Publicity, Events, and Trade Services, promises to elevate NCS’s visibility and outreach.
- Nwaocha Vivian Ogochukwu takes up the chair of the Innovation, Research, and Development Committee, stepping into a role embraced especially by younger professionals.
- Olusegun Alabi will lead the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee, a position many believe suits his reputation for integrity.
This blending of seasoned leadership and vibrant new voices sets the stage for an era where innovation, inclusivity, and ethical standards will define the NCS’s path forward.
The elected officials promised to continue on the path of growth and development for the industy, and the nation at large.
