History

The idea of establishing the university was conceived following the call by the Federal Government of Nigeria on the need for the private sector to participate in expanding access to university education in the country.

Consequently, MAAUN Kano was founded in April, 2021 by Professor Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo as a response to the clarion call and demonstration of his passion for access to quality university education and youth empowerment in Nigeria and African sub-region.
