The discussion focused on the overdue release of certificates for Kano students who graduated between 2015 and 2019.
“Many of these graduates, particularly from fields like Medicine and Nursing, have been unable to advance in their careers due to the non-payment of tuition fees by the immediate past administration of Ganduje,” Dawakin Tofa said.
The governor described the situation as a major setback, not only for the affected students but also for the state, which has been deprived of skilled professionals in critical sectors particularly the healthcare service.
“The governor however, expressed optimism following what he called fruitful discussions with the university management aimed at settling the liabilities and facilitating the release of the certificates.
