What could be described as the negligence of the appropriate authorities has led to the killing of a final year student of Bayero University Kano (BUK). He was knocked down by a truck driver while crossing the road in front of the main gate of the university’s new campus on Gwarzo Road.
The students led by Comrade Usman Shuaibu Rano, president of the Students Union Government of the institution are presently protesting the killing of the student
Rano complained that the Students Union had written series of letters of complaint to authorities of the university, the state government, and officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) on the need to curtail reckless driving on Gwarzo-BUK Road but the letters were largely ignored.
The students barricaded the Gwarzo-BUK Road and the gate to the campus, disrupting the flow of traffic, and chanting, “We no go gree, we no go gree.
Motorists have, on many occasions, crushed so many students to death on Gwarzo Road without the university authorities taking appropriate action to curb the trend
