he Management of Bayero University has commenced

distribution of 37 brand new vehicles to Deans and Directors

to facilitate the discharge of their duties.

The university, having recently made giant strides on infrastructural

years this was the second time newly acquired branded vehicles

were distributed to the management staff.

Professor Hafiz said the ‘Ford brand’ vehicles, were purchased with

the internally generated revenue with which the university is

executing other projects such as roads network upgrade,

construction of theaters etc,

saying that the management

had set up a four-man

committee headed by the

ASUU National President,

Dr. Nasiru Fagge for the

sourcing of the vehicles.

The committee he said gave

alternatives to the

management and Ford

brand was selected.

He said the university

management had resolved

to continue the purchase of

vehicles and other facilities

considered important,

urging the Deans and

Directors who have other

vehicles in their possession

to hand them over to the

Director of Security.

the vehicles had agreed to

service them for a four-year

period free of charge,

Corrigendum

In the 44th

edition of the Bulletin dated 10th

October, 2014, page 3, we erroneously credited

to Professor Auwal Abubakar the contents of a

piece titled: “Insurgency: New Campus Chief

Imam Cautions Muslims to Sensitize Minds.”

The correct thing is that the content of the piece

was presented as part of the Eid-el-Kabeer

Sermon (Khutba) by Prof. Muhammad Kabir

Yunus not Professor Muhammad Auwal

Abubakar. We express our appreciation to Prof.

M. A. Abubakar for drawing our attention to the

error, which is regretted.
