Bayero University, Kano (BUK), has prohibited the charging of privately owned electric motorcycles and other electric vehicles on all its campuses, citing the growing cost of electricity.
The directive was announced in a statement issued by the university's Director of Public Affairs, Lamara Garba.
According to the university, management observed that staff, students, commercial motorcycle operators, and other individuals had been charging privately owned electric vehicles using the institution's electricity supply. The practice, it said, has contributed to a significant increase in the university's electricity bills, placing additional financial pressure on the institution.
The statement explained that the continued use of university electricity for private vehicles is no longer sustainable as the institution seeks to manage its resources more efficiently.
The ban takes immediate effect and applies to all privately owned electric motorcycles and other electric vehicles across every BUK campus.
The university warned that anyone who violates the directive will face disciplinary action in accordance with its rules and regulations.
BUK also instructed provosts, deans, directors, heads of departments, and unit heads to monitor compliance and report any violations. In addition, a university monitoring team will carry out regular patrols across the campuses to ensure the policy is strictly enforced.
Management appealed to all affected persons to cooperate with the directive as part of efforts to reduce energy costs and promote the responsible use of university resources.
