The Franco-British International University was granted a provisional operational license by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in 2023, alongside the Canadian University of Nigeria, which is also part of the MAAUN Group of Universities.
“I’m known for my commitment to education and will continue to uphold it. We have achieved this in Niger Republic and Kano. We have instilled a spirit of morality and high academic standards among our students and staff,” he said.
“We will ensure standards, discipline, and morality among the students and staff of Franco-British International University, as we have done in Kano and Niger,” said Professor Gwarzo.
