Pantami Foundation Pays Outstanding Fees for Gombe Students at BUK
Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, has settled all outstanding registration fees for Gombe State students at Bayero University Kano (BUK) through the Professor Isa Pantami Foundation (PIP Foundation).
The intervention came after the President of the Gombe State Students Association (GOSSA) at BUK, Muhammad Alamin Abdulkadir, reached out to Professor Pantami on social media about the financial difficulties many students were facing.
According to Abdulkadir, Professor Pantami responded immediately, directing a swift payment to ensure no Gombe State student would be held back from their studies due to financial constraints. The foundation’s action has provided significant relief to the students and their families.
This is not the first time Professor Pantami has extended his support to students in need. He previously sponsored the registration fees for numerous students at Gombe State University (GSU).

In a statement, the GOSSA BUK President expressed profound gratitude, highlighting Pantami’s consistent support for education and youth empowerment.
“The students of BUK will also never forget your kind intervention in 2022 when you provided free buses for our return to campus after the prolonged Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike,” Abdulkadir said. “That singular act restored hope and eased the challenges of countless families.”
He praised Professor Pantami as a “visionary mentor and a father to all,” whose continuous investment in human capital development makes the future of Nigerian youth “undoubtedly brighter.”
The GOSSA BUK President also extended appreciation to Dr. Salihu Ahmad Pantami, a patron of the association and a childhood friend of Professor Pantami, for his mentorship and tireless efforts.
“From the depth of our hearts, we say: ‘Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for always standing with the youth. Thank you for easing the burdens of your parents. Thank you for everything you continue to do for our society’,” Abdulkadir concluded.
