The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has ordered the immediate payment of the electricity debt owed by the state-owned, Kaduna State University (KASU)
Power supply to the university’s two campuses in Kaduna and Kafanchan was cut off last year due to mounting electricity debt.
According to a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Mohammed Shehu, on receipt of reports on the lingering power outage in both campuses, Mr Sani directed the Commissioner of Education, Muhammad Bello, to find out what was the cause of the blackout in the Kafanchan and Kaduna City campuses of the institution.
“Following the findings and recommendations of Mr Bello, the governor directed that all outstanding debts from 2022 be paid to ensure that power supply is restored to both campuses.”
He said the government will continue to intervene when necessary to ameliorate the challenges faced by students in all state-owned tertiary institutions.
