Cyprus university seizes Nigerian graduates’ certificates over Kano govt’s debts
Governor Abba Yusuf has promised to secure certificates for stranded Kano graduates in Cyprus.
The governor announced this in a statement on Monday.
The statement said Mr Yusuf was in Cyprus to address the students’ long-standing.
The students have been unable to obtain their academic certificates due to unpaid tuition fees by the immediate past administration.
“Yusuf held a crucial meeting with the management of Near East University to discuss the release of the certificates to the students who graduated between 2015 and 2019.
“Many of these graduates, particularly those who studied medicine and nursing, have been unable to advance their careers due to the non-payment of tuition fees,“ he said.
The governor described the situation as a significant setback for the affected students and Kano.
He emphasised the need for skilled professionals in critical sectors like healthcare, following what he termed “fruitful discussions” with the university management.
Mr Yusuf expressed optimism about settling the liabilities and facilitating the release of the certificates.
“The governor’s intervention demonstrates his administration’s commitment to addressing systemic challenges in the education sector.
“By resolving this issue, the graduates will be able to fulfil their potential and contribute meaningfully to Kano state’s development,“ he said.
