Rabia Sa’id, a professor of physics at Bayero University, Kano (BUK), says her appointment to the United Nations Scientific Panel on the Effects of Nuclear War (2025–2027) is not new.
In a statement on her verified Facebook page, Mrs Sa’id said she was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General to the 21-member scientific panel last December.
The appointment, established under UN General Assembly Resolution 79/238, places Mrs Sa’id among the world’s premier scientists evaluating existential global nuclear threats.
A PREMIUM TIMES report based on another by an online platform, BUK Media, on Monday, created a new buzz around the appointment.
Following reactions on social media, Mrs Sa’id clarified that the reports do not represent a new appointment.
