Governor Abba Yusuf has appealed for more Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) intervention projects at the Yusuf Maitama Sule University and the Kano University of Science and Technology in Wudil.

Mr Yusuf made the appeal 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 agency 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,” the governor explained. ”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 commended TETFund for its various infrastructure projects in tertiary institutions nationwide. The governor specifically called for TETFund’s support in the two universities in providing more facilities, training and retraining of staff, and flood control in Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil.
