The government of Kano State in the northwestern part of Nigeria has announced a 50% reduction in registration fees for state-owned tertiary institutions for residents of the state.

Dr. Kofar Mata said the beneficiaries are Kano indigenes studying regular courses for 2023/2024 academic session at state owned institutions, which include, Aloko Dangote University, Wudil, Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano and Sa’adatu Rimi University of Education.
