Al-Tistiqama University VC Visits JAMB Office, Staff Celebrate Ongoing Upgrades

The Vice Chancellor of Al-Tistiqama University, Sumaila, Kano State, Prof. AbdulHadi Saleh Kumurya, has paid a working visit to the Kano Zonal Office of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) as part of efforts to strengthen collaboration between both institutions.

Prof. Kumurya, accompanied by members of his management team, was received by the Zonal Director, Mr. Salim Kabir Galadanci. The Vice Chancellor said the visit was aimed at reinforcing the cordial relationship between the university and the Board.

Welcoming the delegation, Mr. Galadanci thanked the Vice Chancellor for making time for the visit and assured the institution of continued support.

He urged the university to adhere strictly to JAMB’s guidelines for seamless admissions through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), and to avoid any form of admission-related infractions.

Responding, Prof. Kumurya revealed that Al-Tistiqama University had recently secured approval to introduce 22 new courses across its three existing faculties—Sciences, Arts and Technology.

He expressed optimism that the approval would expand academic opportunities for prospective students.

Meanwhile, the Kano Zonal Office is currently undergoing significant renovation, giving the facility a fresh and more modern look.

Staff members, excited about the improvements, said the new building would finally address long-standing challenges of inadequate office space.

Many staff disclosed that before the renovation, they often worked under trees within the premises due to space shortages.

They expressed gratitude to the JAMB Registrar and the management team for prioritizing their welfare and creating a more conducive working environment.

The visit and ongoing upgrades reflect a shared commitment to improving the quality of admissions and the overall working atmosphere within the education sector.
