The Management of Bayero University, Kano is happy to announce to the members of the University community that the two main campuses of the University (Old Campus and New Campus) have now been migrated to a more reliable source of electricity after many years of tireless efforts.
However, it has come to the notice of the Management that some members of the University community are misusing the electricity in offices and residential areas. Some staff members leave their lights and AC appliances on after office hours, while others in the residential areas use the electricity for commercial purposes by installing cold rooms and grinding machines or leaving the lights of their residences on even during the daytime.
The Management is appealing to both staff and students to use the power supply wisely to help management minimize the huge bills of electricity consumption on the campuses. It is rather unfortunate that lights in residential areas and some offices are not turned off even during the daytime.
Similarly, the Management is appealing to staff in the residential areas to desist from using electricity for any commercial purposes, including cold rooms, which are detrimental and not cost-effective.
The Management had been working tirelessly to ensure that staff and students enjoy adequate power supply, which had been few and far between over the last few years. With this success story in the restoration of substantial power supply on our campuses, it is hoped that proper care will be taken by all and sundry to ensure that bills coming in can be settled by the management. If, on the other hand, we misuse this opportunity and bills go beyond the scope of the management, KEDCO will not hesitate to cut off the power supply, which will not augur well for us all.
The restoration of adequate power supply will be a source of comfort for us, especially as the Month of Ramadan approaches. Once again, the Management is calling on both staff and students not to leave their appliances on while they go out.
Appropriate measures will be taken by the Management against homes that do not comply with these directives.
