Tanko said the decision for the renaming of the university to the name of the late elder statesman was reached at an extraordinary meeting of the state executive council.

”The decision was unanimously agreed by the Executive Council during an extraordinary meeting of the council late last night to immortalize Late Danmasanin Kano Alhaji Dr. Yusuf Maitama Sule due to his immense contributions to the development of Kano, Arewa and Nigeria at large,” Tanko said.

He also disclosed that the council has also approved the renaming of Dawaki Road where the residence of Late Danmasanin Kano is located to Yusuf Maitama Sule Road while the current Yusuf Maitama Sule link Road has been renamed Jafaru Dan Mallam Link Road.
