The administration of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has denied reports that the institution has set a date for academic activities to resume.
BUK was closed as part of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike that began in February.
In a statement issued on Monday, Lamara Garba, the institution’s Deputy Registrar, Public Affairs, urged students, parents, and the general public to disregard information circulating in the state about the institution’s resumption date.
“The rumour of the institution’s resumption is fake and malicious, it is a fiction without any iota of truth,” Garba said.
He emphasized that members of the public, particularly students and parents should ignore such information.
Meanwhile, ASUU’s President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, has expressed hope that the strike will soon be called off. After the union was briefed by Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Monday, Osodeke said there was light at the end of the tunnel.
