One of Nigeria’s leading industrialists, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has redeemed his pledge of N200 million donation to Katsina University, owned by the Katsina Islamic Foundation.

Secretary-General of the Foundation, Alhaji Sani Lugga, told newsmen in Katsina on Monday that Dangote had released the second installment of N100 million to the university on Sunday.

He said Dangote pledged the N200 million at the investiture of the Chancellor of the university, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, about two years ago, after which he paid the first installment of N100 million.

Lugga said that so far, the university had realised about 60 per cent of all the pledges made by individuals and corporate organisations at the ceremony.

He said that Dantata, who pledged to provide N1 billion infrastructure to the university, had so far spent about 85 per cent of what he pledged on the construction of 40 lecture halls, three laboratories and furniture.

He appealed to wealthy individuals and corporate organisations to assist the university.
