Some parts of a male hostel at the
Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, was on Wednesday
gutted by fire.
The institution’s Vice-Chancellor,
Prof. Abdullahi Zuru, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Aliero on Wednesday,
that five rooms were burnt in the incident.
Prof. Zuru, however, said nobody
died and no one was injured during the inferno.
He said the 50 students affected by
the disaster would be relocated to other hostels, while the destroyed section
would be rehabilitated after verification of the extent of damage.
He praised the students who
succeeded in putting out the fire, adding that “a committee would investigate
the cause of the fire, extent of damage and cost of rehabilitating the
structure”.
The Commissioner for Science and
Technical Education, Alhaji Ruwa Dakingari, who led top officials of the
ministry to inspect the damage, said the government would design measures that
would prevent further outbreak of fire in the state’s higher institutions.
