The Governing body of the Bayero University Kano {BUK} has on Monday, January 4th, approved the cancellation of 2019-2020 Academic session for all undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the university. 
This new development was announced in a memo signed by the university registrar Fatima Binta-Mohammed and released barely two weeks after the Academic Staff Union of Universities {ASUU} suspended its nine-month-old strike across all public universities in the country.
It is reported by Daily trust that before ASUU embarked on its 9-months long strike back in March 2020, Bayero University Kano had already completed its mid-semester break for the first semester of 2019/2020 academic session for undergraduates, while the PGD students had just resumed for the session. 
The school has now announced that the new academic session for undergraduates will begin on January 18, 2021 (first semester), while the second semester will begin on May 3, 2021.
For the Postgraduates, the senate slated January 18 as first semester, while the second semester will begin on June 1.
Asides renaming the 2019/2020 session to 2020/2021, the senate also granted amnesty to Postgraduate students who did not register within the time frame. They are to do so before the new session begins.
