Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Chancellor of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, has committed to constructing a Senate building and 10 senior academic staff residences at the institution. This announcement was made by Vice-Chancellor Prof. Musa Yakasai in Kano on Thursday.
The university had recently faced a power supply disconnection by KEDCO due to a N248 million debt, despite partial payments. Dangote's foundation intervened, paying about N100 million to restore power. This support followed a request from the university’s management during a visit to Dangote's Lagos office.
