Bayero University Kano has refuted a letter that is now making the rounds on social media that purports to be false and announces an increase in enrollment costs.

The letter was deemed a forgery, according to a statement made on Monday by Lamara Garba, the school’s deputy registrar for public affairs.

In contrast to the social media post being shared by “unscrupulous elements,” the statement said that the university administration had not yet decided whether to hike tuition.

“Students, parents and other stakeholders should note that Bayero University has not yet decided on any school fees increase as against the social media post being circulated by some unscrupulous elements,” the statement read.

Therefore, the institution advised the general public to dismiss the material because it was false and malicious.

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) apologized to customers for the Monday morning delay in providing train services along the Abuja-Kaduna route.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, Mr. Pascal Nnorli, Manager, Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS), said that the delay was caused by a deficit in the supply of diesel.

“The management of the NRC sincerely apologises to our esteemed customers who may have experienced delay in our Abuja-Kaduna train service on Monday, Jan. 23.

“The delay was caused by the supply of diesel/AGO, which fell short of the specification required to operate our rolling stock, which was out rightly rejected after statutory laboratory test.

“The compulsory laboratory test is carried out on all liquid that is used on the rolling stock, locomotives inclusive to ensure that the right specifications are utilised,’’ Nnorli said.

The manager thanked its passengers for continued patronage and pledged the commitment of the corporation for better services going forward.
