The Senior HEA fellowship is a UK national recognition for leadership, excellence, expertise and commitment to professionalism in teaching and learning.
An independent panel set up by the UK’s Advance Higher Education after a rigorous review of Abubakre’s impressive record of accomplishment and contributing to advancing Executive Development in the UK, Africa and North America, adjudged him worthy for the UK’s Gold standard in pedagogy.
According to the panel, Abubakre has been able to present a thorough understanding of practical approaches to pedagogy leadership and has been a critical contributor to high – quality executive learning.
The Advance Higher Education Academy in its website noted that those conferred with the prestigious Senior Fellowship recognition are experienced academics able to demonstrate impact and influence through, for example, responsibility for leading, managing, or organising programs, subjects, and disciplinary areas.
The other criteria are the demonstration of experience as subject mentors and academics that support those new to teaching and experienced leaders with departmental and broader education and learning to support advisory responsibilities within an institution.
Commenting on the achievement, Caroline Lucas of TEXEM, UK explained that Abubakre was conferred with the highly sought after professional recognition upon rigorous review of his impact by an independent panel set up by the UK’s Advance Higher Education.

“This award is a tribute to all the distinguished Professors from Harvard, London Business School, to London School of Economics, Insead, IESE, Oxford, Cambridge and Coventry.
“Our aim has consistently been to stimulate impactful leadership, assist organisations in achieving their goals effectively and efficiently and by extension, champion nation-building via executive development programmes, and we hope that this would spur us to do more.”
