Wakili said the state government had sent a delegation to present the appointment letter to the former president in Abeokuta.
He explained that the appointment was based on Section 8 of the Jigawa State University Law, 2013.
Wakil said that Section 2 of the Second Schedule of the law also supported the appointment.
The two sections, he said, vested on the visitor of the university the powers to appoint chancellor for the institution, adding that extensive consultation was made before reaching the decision to appoint Obasanjo as the pioneer chancellor of the university.
“The government arrived at the decision after due consideration of his immense contributions to the making of modern Nigeria; as former military head of state and two terms democratically elected president,” he said.
