The Kaduna State University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has expressed gratitude to Governor Uba Sani for approving land for its Academia Mass Housing Estate Project.
According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Governor, Malam Ibraheem Musa, ASUU stated in a letter dated January 23, 2025, that the project will enhance staff welfare and provide civil servants with an opportunity to own homes through a rent-to-own/mortgage financing scheme.
The letter, signed by Professor Gimba Kyari, president of KASU-ASUU Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited, praised Governor Sani’s unwavering compassion and commitment to the development of Kaduna State, as well as his dedication to inclusive growth.
The estimated cost of each housing unit, including infrastructure, is approximately N42,000,000, but ASUU has offered a 15% discount, aptly named the “Senator Uba Sani Discount,” representing the cost of land.
