The academic community at Modibbo Adama University (MAU), Yola, is in mourning following the passing of Mr. M.B. Saleh, a prominent lecturer in the Department of Geology.

Known for his profound humility, discipline, and dedication to his craft, Mr. Saleh was a respected figure who left an indelible mark on both his colleagues and generations of students.

Former students have taken to various platforms to share testimonials of Mr. Saleh’s impact. One alumnus recalled how the late lecturer’s intervention helped him overcome difficulties with geological map interpretation:

"I met him randomly a few days before an assessment and shared my struggle. He patiently sat me down and explained everything. That single act of kindness helped me earn an 'A' in the course."

As a specialist in Environmental Geology, Mr. Saleh was celebrated for his interactive teaching style. Many of his students credit his lectures with sparking their lifelong interests in environmental protection and sustainability.

The Department of Geology at MAU has described his passing as a significant loss. Mr. Saleh was regarded not only as a "teacher of teachers" but as a compassionate mentor who was always approachable despite his serious and disciplined work ethic.
