The Acting Provost of Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies (AKCILS), Dr. Ali Tamasi , has reassured students enrolled in the institution’s Degree programmes that they will complete their studies and graduate without any disruption, despite recent developments affecting admissions into such programmes.
Dr. Tamasi gave the assurance while receiving separate courtesy visits from members of the Tijjaniyya Shura Media Group, Kano State, the Committee of Ulama and Traditional Rulers, and alumni of the Hausa/Islamic Studies Class of 2014/2015.
