Founder’s Note
Gratefully, we are now steadily in our 12th year of operation, and firmly consolidating our gains. Baba-Ahmed University, Kano was licensed by the Federal Government in June this year under the same ownership as Baze University, as we bask in the cheers of establishing the biggest private hospital by built area in Africa.
We grow stronger with the challenges of our times, albeit never anticipated or planned. Exchange rate has brought us to an era where a Smartboard costs a session's Tuition Fee while we cannot transfer same to Parents. Instead, we will go the extra mile to bear and manage within the scope of our capacity. We shall not rest or waver in our commitment to quality and standards.
Baze University recently secured necessary approvals from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to commence PhD. Programmes in several disciplines starting from this academic year. The University Hospital which was commissioned last year has fully commenced activities with the employment of over one hundred highly qualified and competent professionals in major fields of medicine and nursing care. I am happy to note that the hospital has started to enjoy public recognition and patronage.
As part of efforts to expand access to university education and admit more students from far away destinations, the university has also commenced the construction of a 700 bed-space capacity students’ hostel to be fitted with bespoke facilities for comfort and recreation. This hopefully will be commissioned by January 2023.
And in line with the expansion of academic programmes, arrangements are also in top gear to build more classrooms and staff offices to accommodate the increased numbers of students and staff. We are also exploring partnerships in the generation and deployment of solar energy in the entire university.
We are unrelenting in our vision and are confident that with providence on our side and support from stakeholders, there will be many memorable moments of celebrations ahead.
