The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, has laid foundation for the construction of a lecture theatre with a capacity for 250 at the permanent site of the North West University, Kano, a newly established state-owned university.
In his address at the construction site in Kabuga/BUK road, yesterday, the president of the institute, Mr. Chidi Ajaegbu said ICAN was partnering the university in accountancy education more than any other existing universities in the country.
He said the professional body was glad to see the university running accounting education to Ph.D level and urged it to try to enrol more accounting students from the already 200 undergraduates in the university.
He advised the university to accord its undergraduate students the opportunity to take West Africa chartered accountant professional examination, which he said remained the fastest and easy way to producing professional accountants.
