The upper section of a female hostel in the Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil, has been razed by fire.
The Kano State Fire Service, which on Wednesday confirmed the outbreak, said the fire was as a result of high voltage.
The State Fire Service spokesman, Saidu Mohammed, said that a total of 30 rooms, 20 toilets and four kitchens were completely razed.
“We received a distress call at 09:52 pm from one Alhaji Sagiru that there was a fire outbreak in the university.

“On receiving the information, we quickly sent some of our personnel and fire fighting vehicles to the scene at 10:21 pm to quench the fire,’’ he said.
Mohammed, however, said that no life was lost to the fire, noting that students were still at home because of lecturers’ strike.
