Earlier, the President of NAKSS, Comrade Sani Ja’afar, presented by their patron, Prof. Ahmed Salihu Bello, alongside Dr. Ramatu Nuru, said the association was committed to building a strong, student-centred union that would prioritise the welfare of its members.
He added that the union would pursue scholarship opportunities for Kano State indigenes studying in the university.
