Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has promised to secure certificates for the stranded Kano graduates in Cyprus.
This is contained in a statement by Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, the Director-General, Media and Publicity, to the governor in Kano yesterday.
He said Yusuf is currently in Cyprus to address the long-standing issue of the students.
The students have been unable to obtain their academic certificates due to unpaid tuition fees by the immediate past administration.
“Yusuf held a crucial meeting with the management of Near East University, to discuss the release of the certificates to the students who graduated between 2015 and 2019.
“Many of these graduates, particularly those who studied Medicine and Nursing, have been unable to advance in their careers due to non-payment of tuition fees, “he said.
Dawakin-Tofa said the governor described the situation as a significant setback for the affected students and the state.
He emphasised the need for skilled professionals in critical sectors like healthcare, following what he termed ‘fruitful discussions’ with the university’s management.
He expressed optimism about settling the liabilities and facilitating the release of the certificates.
“The governor’s intervention demonstrates his administration’s commitment to addressing systemic challenges in the education sector.
“By resolving this issue, the graduates will be able to fulfil their potential and contribute meaningfully to Kano State’s development,” he said.
