The Founder of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN), Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, has fulfilled his pledge to donate an official vehicle to the office of the Vice-Chancellor of Northwest University Kano (NWU), reinforcing collaboration between the two institutions.
A delegation from MAAUN formally handed over a Toyota Hilux vehicle to the Vice-Chancellor of Northwest University Kano, Prof. Amina Salihi Bayero, during a ceremony attended by the university’s management.
The delegation was led by the President of MAAUN, Prof. (Dr.) Mohammad Israr, and included the Vice-President (Administration), Dr Habib Awais Abubakar, Senate member Dr Nura Yaro, and Hayatuddeen M. Abdallah of the university’s Corporate Communications Unit.
The donation fulfilled a commitment made by Prof. Gwarzo during a recent courtesy visit by the NWU management to him in Abuja, where he promised to provide an official vehicle for the Vice-Chancellor’s office.
Presenting the vehicle on behalf of the founder, Prof. Israr said the donation was intended to strengthen collaboration between MAAUN and Northwest University while improving administrative efficiency.
He reaffirmed Prof. Gwarzo’s commitment to advancing higher education through strategic partnerships and institutional support.
Receiving the vehicle, Prof. Bayero expressed appreciation to Prof. Gwarzo for honouring his promise, describing the donation as another demonstration of his generosity and commitment to educational development.
She recalled that Prof. Gwarzo had previously donated a luxury bus to the university and provided other forms of support.
The Vice-Chancellor also disclosed that Prof. Gwarzo had pledged to assist Northwest University in accessing international grants and other opportunities aimed at promoting research, teaching and institutional development.
The Registrar of NWU described the visit as a milestone that had opened new avenues for collaboration between the two universities, including the possible establishment of a joint academic and research centre.
He offered prayers for Allah’s continued blessings on Prof. Gwarzo and the MAAUN community, while the university’s Bursar said the vehicle would enhance the institution’s administrative operations.
