Goni prayed for the successful implementation of the government’s pro-poor education policies.

He also appealed to all sections of the community to support educational development in all facets.

Gov. Abba Yusuf recently approved the slashing of the registration fees by half in the state owned tertiary institutions to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal on the people.

The institutions included Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, Yusuf Maitama Sule University Kano: Sa’adatu Rimi University of Education, Kumbotso: Audu Bako College of Agriculture, Dambatta and other state-owned tertiary institutions.
