The graduates of the Faculty of Arts and Islamic Studies (FAIS) class of 2004 at Bayero University Kano (BUK) gathered at their 12th Annual General Meeting in Kano on Sunday to extend a helping hand to the families of 18 deceased classmates.
Chairing the reunion, Sulaiman Muhammad Adamu noted that the event wasn’t merely about socialising but a platform to reminisce about the past, savour the present, and collectively envision the future while fortifying the bonds that tie them together.
Daily Trust quoted Adamu to have said, “We are here to enhance unity among the members of this forum and support the families of our deceased colleagues who have passed away. We are supporting them in order to bring them in for more support.”
Disclosing that the support includes food items and a cash token amounting to N50,000 for each family, Adamu assured that the forum would continue to explore additional ways to assist the bereaved families.
The beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the thoughtful gesture, acknowledging the significance of being remembered and included in the activities of their former classmates.
This act of solidarity not only reflects the compassionate spirit of the FAIS class of 2004 but also serves as a testament to the enduring bonds forged during their university years.
