The management of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has communicated its approval for the use of the Musa Abdullahi Auditorium for the maiden Media Trust, Kano State gubernatorial debate on February 4.

The university’s vice chancellor, Professor Sagir Adamu Abbas, informed about the approval for the 1,000-capacity venue through a communication by the Registrar, Jamil Salim.

In the communication, the university management also agreed to waive the cost of renting the venue for Media Trust Group as part of its contribution to the success of the event. 

The VC had earlier said the university as a public institution is open to partnerships and developmental initiatives, and as such, the debate will not come at a better time as the candidates need to be scrutinized for the interest of the public.

While receiving the Media Trust Group’s delegation earlier, the VC said

“I will advise you to clearly tell whoever is going to participate that they are not going to troop into the campus with supporters because this is an academic environment and students are here.

Responding to the approval from BUK to use the 1000-seater hall, the Chairman of the MTL Debate Planning Committee, Dr Suleiman A. Suleiman thanked the university management for their magnanimity in not just approving the use of the institution but also for giving the venue free of charge.

Suleiman said the debate, which is to be organised by Media Trust Group, the parent company of Daily Trust, Aminiya, and Trust TV, is tagged “Trust Nigeria 2023 Elections Debate”, and is expected to give political parties and their candidates for the upcoming election the opportunity to get their plans and agenda across to the voters.

He added that the epoch event has also gotten the support of all the security agencies in the state who have promised to deploy personnel and equipment for the peaceful conduct of the event.
