A Kano-based business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has donated the sum of N100 million for the construction of female hostel at the Federal University Dutse (FUD) campus.
According to the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Fatima Batul-Muktar, who announced the donation while reviewing the achievements of the university in the last one year, the construction project has reached advanced level.
She added that the varsity’s Department of Public Private Partnership (DPPP), was also able to attract philanthropists to execute meaningful projects in the university.
“Our DPPP under my watch, has been able to attract philanthropists like AA Rano, who furnished laboratories in the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and Department of Forestry and Wildlife.
“The DPPP also attracted Alhaji Abdullahi Dangogola, a Kano-based businessman who completed the construction of a Central Mosque which was initially by Engineer Abubakar Isa,’’ she said.
According to her, the Nigerian communications Commission (NCC), has also constructed a Computer-Based Training Centre (CBTC) for the university.
The VC added that the Nigerian Metrological Agency (NIMET), had selected the FUD among the universities to benefit from its upgrading of Weather Station to World Metrological Agency (WMO), standard. (NAN)
