Vice Chancellor of the Kaduna State University
(KASU) Prof. Muhammad Tanko has debunked
rumor that is trending on social media that the
Kafanchan Campus of the University has been
closed down with the view to relocate both
academic and non-academic activities of the
campus to the Kaduna Main Campus. This was
stated in a statement signed by its VC and
issued to Journalists on the 22nd May, 2017 in
Kaduna State said,” This rumor emanated as a
result of a “Notice of Resumption” issued out
by the Management of KASU, Kafanchan
Campus which directed all undergraduate
students of Kafanchan Campus that the KASU
portal would be opened on Monday (today)
22nd May, 2017” for those who were unable to
complete their (first semester) registration, they
should ensure they do so”.
What thickens the closure rumor further was a
paragraph in the resumption notice which
noted that “all students would resume at the
main campus” same date, and are therefore
“advised to report at the consultancy unit
where you will be allocated accommodation at
no cost to you”, while “lectures would
commence at the main campus on Monday
29th May, 2017” respectively.
However, making a clarification on the said
notice of resumption, the Vice Chancellor
explained that,” the current action was taken
on the best interest of the students so that
they can cover the lost semester; catch up and
continue with their normal studies pending
when the campus is reopened, which academic
activities were suspended last December owing
to security breakdown in Kafanchan,” According
to him,” no students were left behind in their
academic pursuit during his time as he was
very committed to taking Kaduna State
University to higher academic success before
the completion of his tenure as Vice
Chancellor.
“Students of the Kafanchan Campus were seen
in groups at the main campus discussing in
exciting tunes after they have given details of
their registration as directed by the University
authority. The Kafanchan Campus of KASU is
made up of two faculties and eight
departments. They are Faculty of
Environmental Science and Faculty of
Agriculture. They consist of the following
departments. viz: Environmental Management,
Architecture, Estate Management, Quantity
Survey; and Agric Extension, Agric Economics,
Crop Production and Animal Science. The
statement added.
