Bayero University introduces N15,000 monthly job scheme for students

Professor Sagir Adamu-Abbas, the vice chancellor of Bayero University, Kano (BUK), has revealed that the university has implemented a work program for students.

According to Adamu-Abbas, the university hired students to perform some jobs for it in exchange for N15,000 per month.

He gave a speech over the weekend in Kano when he met with a group from the university’s main campus and the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria (ECAN).

Adamu-Sagir said: “The university equally introduced a kind of job scheme for students, whereby they were engaged to render some services to the university and they were paid N15,000 monthly.

“This does not affect their normal learning because it does not take much of their time as some were to clean some surroundings or render certain minus service within the university and got paid at the end of the month.”

The Vice Chancellor bemoaned the large expense of maintaining the institution in his remarks over the rise in registration fees, particularly the exorbitant cost of providing energy.

He disclosed that the monthly cost of power is approximately N35 million and the cost of diesel for generator purchases is approximately N40 million.

Vice Chancellor Adamu-Abbas claimed that with a student body of almost 45,000, including postgraduates, and a staff of over 5,000, both teaching and non-teaching, it was practically impossible to provide social services. As a result, the management was compelled to expand registration, he added.
