THE Founder of MAAUN Group of Universities, Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, has donated a fully equipped two-storey building—featuring modern classrooms, digital language laboratories, multimedia studios, and learning-engineered furniture—to the Alliance Française Kano.
News Point Nigeria reports that the renowned edupreneur further solidified his commitment to promoting education and cultural exchange by providing an additional N10 million as operational funding to support the smooth running and sustainability of the centre.
The new edifice, unveiled by the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Marc Fonbaustier, alongside Prof. Gwarzo, is outfitted with smart learning boards, high-speed internet connectivity, conference halls, audio-visual teaching aids, and a digital resource library.
Located at Ahmadiyya Junction along Airport Road in Kano, the facility is now regarded as one of the most sophisticated French language and cultural training centres in Northern Nigeria.
According to Prof. Gwarzo, the establishment of such an ultra-modern edifice will greatly boost bilingual education in Kano, giving students access to world-class French language training.
In his address, the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Marc Fonbaustier, commended Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo for donating the edifice and equipping it with world-class facilities.
The Envoy prayed to God to grant Prof. Gwarzo long life and good health so he can continue the remarkable humanitarian and educational contributions he has been known for.
The Director of Alliance Française Kano, Ali Dabo, expressed profound appreciation to Prof. Gwarzo for the building and the extensive facilities provided.
He noted that in the decades of the centre’s presence in Kano, no individual has redesigned, transformed, or upgraded the centre to this exceptional standard the way Prof. Gwarzo has done.
He further thanked Prof. Gwarzo for finally providing the organisation with a permanent and dignified office after operating as a tenant for over a decade.
