“While the Management appreciates the concern, it wishes to state that, the campus is an outfit of FUD Consultancy Services which is independent of the main University programmes.
“The Consultancy Services decided to have the Kano Campus to cater for candidates coming from Kano, Katsina and other neighbouring states, in that axis, to ease accommodation problem,’’ he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the development has generated heated debate, particularly on social media, where the indigenes of states oppose the establishment of such campus in Kano.
