Following the ouster of Chief Richard Ahonaruogho, former chairman, Conference of Alumni Associations of Nigerian Universities (CAANU), Dr. Ahmed Tijjani Mora, former registrar, Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) has been elected as the new helmsman of the national body.

It would be recalled that the Ahonaruogho-led executives came into office in 2011 for a two-year term. However, it got embroiled in a crisis that threatened to tear what CAANU has achieved over the years apart. The unpleasant face-off dragged on for so long until a congress was called up.

A resolution was reached at the congress which took place at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, on 24th September 2016. At the end of the proceeding, Mora was unanimously elected as the new national chairman.
