Kaduna State University (KASU) has introduced a health-focused initiative, Wednesday Workouts for Wellness, aimed at promoting fitness among staff and students. The inaugural event, held on November 27, 2024, featured a 4-kilometer endurance walk led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abdullahi I. Musa.
Participants, including top management staff such as the Registrar, Barr. Samira Balarabe; the Director of Sports, Prof. Simon Daniel; the Director of the KASU Medical Center, Dr. Umar Mohammed; and the Acting Provost of the College of Medicine, Dr. Steven Bature, gathered at the Bursary Department to kick off the walk.
