“Northwest University has set a precedent by being the first to visit me, and I truly appreciate this. Our doors at Bayero University will always remain open for collaboration, and I pray that this visit becomes the beginning of many fruitful engagements between our two universities,” he remarked.

The Bayero University Vice Chancellor also offered prayers for Professor Kurawa, wishing him a successful and impactful tenure at Northwest University Kano.

The NWUK delegation included key principal officers: Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), Professor Aisha Garba Habib; Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Dr. Tijjani Rufa’i Buhari; Registrar, Adm. Isyaku Adamu; University Librarian, Dr. Karimatu Isa Maisango; Bursar, Malam Salmanu Muhammad Kibiya; Acting Director of Security, Bala Lawan K. Na’isa; and the Dean of Students’ Affairs, Dr. Ibrahim Musa, among others.
