BUK bans charging of electric vehicles on campus, gives reason

Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has implemented a ban on charging electric vehicles, including motorcycles, on its campuses due to rising electricity costs. The university cited the significant financial burden caused by the widespread use of its electricity supply for personal vehicle charging. According to a statement by the university's spokesperson, Lamara Garba, this practice has led to a sharp increase in electricity bills, which conflicts with the institution's commitment to resource prudence. The ban applies to all staff, students, and commercial motorcycle operators, with warnings of disciplinary actions for non-compliance. The university emphasized the need for cooperation to manage energy costs effectively.
