Governor
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has advised the management of Kano
state University of Science and Technology, Wudil, to cement relations
with Bayero University, Kano, BUK, to guarantee sustainable and high
quality management.
He
said the university has a lot to learn from the management style of
Bayero University, being an older and well established university,
adding that the smooth transition among its successive leaders has
helped in ensuring its stability.
The
governor, who gave the advice when he received the management of the
university at the Government House in Kano, noted that BUK has high
degree of continuity in terms of its management, a feature which he said
should be emulated by the state - owned university to ensure that it
remains afloat.
“When
there is transition in management, it should be among you own fold.
That is the only way to ensure sustainability of the university”, the
governor opined, adding that an alliance with BUK will bring out the
best of management for the state University of Science and Technology.
Maintaining
that despite the current economic constraints the state government
would continue to support the university, Governor Ganduje pointed out
that the education sector requires a lot of funds and careful planning
to achieve the objective of ensuring societal progress.
He
said the state government is happy that the university is making the
state proud in terms of providing high quality education, hoping its
management would continue to put in their best to achieve the vision for
which it was established.
In
his remarks, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Shehu Musa Alhaji expressed
appreciation to the Ganduje administration for approving funds and other
support for accrediting 100 percent of its courses and for consenting
to the recruitment of about 242 new academic staff.
The
Vice Chancellor added that with its allocation for the 2016 fiscal
year, the university intends to establish 10 new academic departments to
facilitate learning and research.
