Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, alongside his Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, Commissioner for Higher Education, and other top government officials, has inspected abandoned projects at Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.

During the visit, the governor was conducted around the university by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Musa Tukur Yakasai, who briefed him on the status of the abandoned projects.

Governor Yusuf assured the university community of his administration’s commitment to completing all stalled projects, emphasizing the state government’s dedication to revitalizing the institution.

He further highlighted that the university was originally established by Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso during his first tenure as governor to produce middle-level manpower in the fields of Science, Technology, and Engineering.

As part of efforts to support the university’s growth, Governor Yusuf approved 100 hectares of land for its expansion, which will accommodate a new Faculty of Engineering and a Senate Building.

Reiterating his administration’s commitment to prioritizing education, Governor Yusuf stressed that education remains the foundation of sustainable development and assured that his government would continue investing in the sector.

Earlier, Professor Musa Tukur Yakasai appealed to the governor to settle compensation claims for some residents neighboring the university, facilitating a smooth expansion process.
