Bayero University 1990 Science Class Intake Alumni Donates N1 Million to Support Indigent Students

The Bayero University Kano (BUK) Alumni of the 1990, 1991, and 1992 Science Classes Intake has donated N1 million to support indigent students at the university.

The donation, presented to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sagir Adamu Abbas, on January 8, 2025, aims to ease the financial burden of students struggling to afford tuition fees.

Led by Malam Balarabe Nuhu Jalla, the alumni group emphasized the importance of giving back to their alma mater, particularly during challenging economic times. They expressed pride in the university's transformation over the years and committed to making similar contributions annually to support less privileged students.

Professor Abbas thanked the alumni for their generosity, highlighting the significant impact of their donation. He noted that the university had identified 830 students unable to pay their tuition fees, despite efforts by philanthropists and the NEL fund. The Vice-Chancellor expressed hope that this spirit of giving would continue, inspiring others to support the university's mission.

This donation is part of a larger trend of alumni giving back to Bayero University Kano. Previous donations, such as the N2 million donated by the BUK Class of 1992, demonstrate the commitment of alumni to supporting their alma mater and its students.
