The management of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has announced a further extension of the student registration period by two weeks, from Sunday, July 21 to Sunday, August 4, 2024.
According to a statement signed by Lamara Garba, Deputy Registrar, Public Affairs, the extension follows the recent award of scholarships to 8,530 students by the National Students Education Loans Funds (NELFUND) and appeals from parents, guardians, philanthropists, and the President of the BUK Students Union Government.
The Vice Chancellor, Professor Sagir Adamu Abbas, congratulated the beneficiaries of the NELFUND scheme and assured that the management will encourage more students to enroll in the scheme. The university management appealed to students, parents, guardians, philanthropists, and state governments to utilize the extension period to pay registration fees, enabling the university to deliver the academic session successfully.
This extension provides a welcome relief to students who have not yet completed their registration, and the university’s management is committed to supporting students in accessing education.
