A fire outbreak has razed Dangote female hostel at Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil campus.

The outbreak was attributed to electrical fault, a statement from the university, signed by the Deputy Head of Information, Publications and Public Relations Unit of the University, Malam Abdullahi Datti Abdullahi, revealed.

The statement also indicated that the unfortunate fire outbreak started at around 9.30 pm.

However, immediately after the fire outbreak, the management of the University informed all relevant agencies like the Federal Fire Service (Kano Command), Kano State Fire Service, Nigeria Air Force and Mr. Asia Plastic Jogana (owned by Mr. Lee), who responded and within no time, the fire was put under control.

No any casualty was recorded as students were already at home due to the ongoing nationwide strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The statement further indicated that the extent of damages caused by the fire could not be immediately ascertained.

Meanwhile, the Vice Chancellor Professor Shehu Alhaji Musa had expressed gratitude to all public and private agencies that came to the rescue of the University during the unfortunate incidence.
