Dr. Ismaila Badmus of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has emerged as the new Deputy Rector (Academics) of the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH).

The development is contained in a statement issued Friday by Joe Ejiofor, Deputy Registrar of YABATECH, who is also the institution’s Head of Public Relations.

Ejiofor said that Badmus polled 75 votes to beat Dr. Pauline Ehirheme of the Department of Office Technology and Management, who secured 13 votes during an emergency meeting of the college’s academic board.

According to Ejiofor, the election became necessary as the tenure of Dr Titilayo Ukabam as YABATECH’s Deputy Rector ended in September 2022.

He said that the position had been vacant since then.

“As part of efforts to ensure proper and smooth administration of the college, a free and fair election has been held, and Badmus has emerged the new Deputy Rector (Academics),” he said.

The Spokesman said that Badmus, a native of Ibadan, joined the service of YABATECH in 1997 as Lecturer 2 and rose to the position of Chief Lecturer in 2013.

He said Badmus also headed YABATECH’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.

According to Ejiofor, Badmus holds a B.Sc in Mechanical Engineering, M.Sc in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD, also in Mechanical Engineering.

Ejiofor said that the new Deputy Rector, registered with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, has published a number of scholarly papers in both local and international journals.
