The Academic Staff Union of Universities has awarded scholarships to two indigent students of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) under its annual ASUU Scholarship Scheme.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the acting chairperson of ASUU-BUK, Dr Sagir Saleh, on Thursday, December 14, 2023.

Saleh noted that the scholarship was presented to the beneficiaries by him on behalf of the ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodoke, in Kano on Thursday.

He said the aim of the scheme was to support the education of brilliant students who came from a very humble background across all the branches of the union.
