Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to intervene in the ongoing land dispute between Bayero University, Kano (BUK), and neighboring communities by issuing the university the necessary title deed.<\/p>\n

Tinubu made the appeal on Saturday during BUK\u2019s 39th convocation ceremony, where he was represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmed. He acknowledged the university\u2019s long-standing challenge of land encroachment and emphasized the need for a proper title to secure its property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government is aware of the challenge of lack of perimeter fencing faced by the university and has made some funds available to construct a fence around the institution,\u201d Tinubu stated.<\/p>\n

Beyond land disputes, the president addressed the financial burden of electricity tariffs on Nigerian universities. He urged academic institutions to explore alternative power solutions through research and innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are making significant efforts to stabilize electricity tariffs so that our universities can function optimally. However, while we are making these conscious efforts, I would like to implore our universities to leverage research in order to develop alternative power supply solutions,\u201d Tinubu said.<\/p>\n

He also directed university governing councils and senates to restore the nation\u2019s lost academic culture and ensure that graduates are equipped with skills to meet global standards.<\/p>\n

Earlier, BUK Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sagir Abbas, highlighted the university\u2019s financial struggles due to high electricity costs, revealing that power bills consume nearly a quarter of the institution\u2019s internally generated revenue.<\/p>\n

He appealed to the federal government to consider reducing electricity tariffs for educational institutions and increasing financial support for research and innovation.<\/p>\n
