Vice-President Kashim Shettima has commended Bayero University, Kano(BUK) for providing qualitative education to Nigerians.
Shettima made the commendation while declaring open the BUK Class of 2004 Reunion at the university’s main campus on Saturday.
He also lauded the university for its track record of unbiased admission policy across the country devoid of religion and ethnicity.
He was represented by Dr Nurudeen Zauro, Technical Adviser to the President on Development Finance and Financial Inclusion.
The vice-president said:” Contributions of BUK in providing quality education for all Nigerians and its track record of unbiased admission policy devoid of religion and ethnicity are commendable.
“We however have some challenges which underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions to address the systemic inequalities faced by women and other marginalised groups,” Shettima said.
According to him, with every challenge comes an opportunity, adding, “With you as Ambassadors, we can leverage strengths, resources, networks, and technical expertise.
“This is to develop innovative solutions, and this is precisely why we participate in today’s reunion.
“I therefore implore all of us to contribute towards making our country great again.”
