The Senate of Bayero University Kano (BUK) on Monday approved the cancellation of 2019-2020 sessions for all Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes in the school.
The university senate has now renamed the 2019/2020 session to 2020/2021. It is unclear why the session was renamed against speculations of the session looking like a wasted academic year.
This was contained in a memo signed by the university registrar, Fatima Binta-Mohammed.
According to the university, new academic session for undergraduates will commence on the 18th of January 2021 as first semester, while the second semester will begin May 3, 2021.
For the Postgraduates, the senate slated January 18 as first semester, while the second semester will begin on June 1.

The senate had also granted amnesty for Postgraduate students who did not register within the time frame to do so before the session begins.
It was learnt that the university had already completed its mid-semester break for first semester of 2019/2020 academic session for undergraduates, while the postgraduate students had just resumed for the session before the strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
ASUU had called off its nine-month old strike across the public universities about two weeks ago.
