History


Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso set up a technical committee to establish the second Public University in Kano State, after the Kano University of Science and Technology. The committee included Hafiz Abubakar, Muhammad Yahuza Bello, Fatima Batul Mukhtar, Bayero University Kano and Umar Garba. The committee submitted their report to Kwankwaso, who submitted it to the Kano State House of Assembly for their approval. After they passed the bill, the National Universities Commission was contacted for final approval.

Kwankwaso immediately inaugurated an Implementation Committee, which was headed by Professor Hafiz Abubakar. Their task included the appointment of both academic and non-academic staff, and the admission of the original students.[1]
