The institution will now be known as the <strong>Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This decision was communicated in a letter dated <strong>May 27, 2025<\/strong>, issued by the <strong>Kebbi State Commissioner for Higher Education<\/strong> on behalf of <strong>Governor Dr. Nasir Idris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Need to Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The name change is now official<\/strong> \u2014 all correspondence, records, and documents must reflect the new name: <em>Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No changes to structure<\/strong> \u2014 The academic programs, staff, student body, and administrative structure remain the same.
