Kano state Government Converts Sa'adatu Rimi University to College of Education

In a surprising move, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has reversed the upgrade of Sa'adatu Rimi College of Education to Sa'adatu Rimi University of Education, a decision made by his predecessor, Governor Ganduje.

The institution will now revert to its former status as a college of education .

This reversal comes after Governor Yusuf had earlier settled 50% of the registration fees for 1,740 newly admitted students of Sa'adatu Rimi University of Education . The university, under its previous status, had also announced free education for people with disabilities .

The decision has ordered the Vice-Chancellor to resign, sparking concerns among students, faculty, and staff about the institution's future. The implications of this reversal are still unclear, leaving many to wonder about the institution's growth and development.
