Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf has called for more Tertiary Education Trust Fund intervention projects at the Yusuf Maitama Sule University and the Kano University of Science and Technology in Wudil.
Yusuf made the call in Abuja during a courtesy visit to the executive secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono.
He stressed the need for a robust collaboration between the Kano government and the fund to ensure improved education delivery.
“The purpose of my visit is to ensure continued collaboration between the Kano government and TETFund in terms of projects and other educational assistance to these two universities.
“Of course, my predecessor established the third university in the state but as far we are concerned, these two universities are close to our heart,” he said.
He commended TETFund for its various infrastructure projects in tertiary institutions across the country.
The governor specifically called for TETFund’s support in the two universities in the areas of provision of more facilities, training and retraining of staff as well as flood control in Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil.
He said, “First, we are here to thank the management for those intervention programmes and projects being executed in the two universities.
“Specifically, I am more interested in infrastructure development, because if you do not have classrooms, you don’t have hostels, you don’t have libraries or facilities then the entire system will collapse.
“So, the most important thing as far as university or any other tertiary education institution is concerned is to ensure the provision of infrastructures.”
