During his tenure as Vice Chancellor, the University, with about 20,000 full-time students in various faculties, ranked first in the accreditation of academic programmes in Nigerian universities (2007).\r\n\r\nBetween 2000 and 2004, Professor Mohammad-Bande served as Director-General of Le Centre Africain de Formation et de Recherche Administratives pour le D\u00e9veloppement (CAFRAD), in Tangiers, Morocco. Established by African governments in 1964, CAFRAD is the continent\u2019s premier intergovernmental Centre for governance reform.

In that capacity, he inspired a marked improvement in the quality of the Institute\u2019s programming and activities. One of his signature initiatives in that regard was the establishment of the Political Parties Policy and Leadership Development Centre, the first of its kind in Africa.\r\n\r\nAs Nigeria\u2019s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (2018-2019), Professor Mohammad-Bande worked with colleagues from all regions of the world to achieve common objectives.
