THE authorities of Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudil, has threatened to dismiss any student found engaging in drug abuse and other social vices.

According to him, the inauguration of the programme was another milestone for the University that would go a long way in allowing the institution to boost its contribution, especially the capacity building of the teeming youths.

He assured the students of automatic admission provided that they passed the IJMB examination to be conducted after the one year programme.

The vice-chancellor disclosed that IJMB programme was being organised and coordinated by the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.
