He said with Mr Kukasheka’s appointment, the retired general would chair the Crisis Communication, Public Relations and Security Studies sessions of the school.

Mr Kukasheka is a graduate of Bayero University Kano, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication and also has a Master’s degree in Media, Peace and Conflict Studies.
