The university spokesman urged members of the public to disregard the claim and consider it fake, fabricated and of no basis.
He said the Vice-Chancellor was not a member of the Kano State Task Force on COVID-19 chaired by the state deputy governor of the state as claimed in the report.
Garba described the claim as a fabrication by some elements who do not wish the university and people of Kano well. (NAN)
