INFOMEDIA – Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, commissioned an ultra-modern International Conference Centre in Bayero University, Kano over the weekend, saying that it was a corporate social responsibility between the University and people of Kano State.

The outgoing Vice Chancellor, Professor Muhammad Yahuza Bello, said the Centre would house an ultra-modern auditorium with the capacity of 1200 people at a time; 6 syndicate rooms that can accommodate 100 people at a time; 500 capacity lounge and 38 charlets among others.
“This building was made possible by the intervention of Senator Bello Hayatu Gwarzo when he made sure that it was captured in the budget by the federal government while he was in the Senate,” said the Vice Chancellor.
He explained that while the University was trying to complete the project, it sought the approval of the TetFund to use normal intervention which was approved, commending the TetFund for the gesture.
According to him, BUK has been working with all the governments of Kano State and Governor Ganduje took the relationship to the highest level, noting that the involvement of staff in the activities of the state was unprecedented. He reiterated that the University would continue to work closely with the state government.
The Governor was later taken round the facility and also the Senate Chamber, which he jokingly said he thought he was in Dubai.
