BUK second semester break update

The Management of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has announced a change to the second semester calendar for all students.
The mid-semester break will no longer stand as a separate period. It is now joined with the Christmas and New Year holiday.

Students will begin the Christmas and New Year break on 22 December 2025. They will now return on 10 January 2026, instead of 3 January 2026. This longer break is meant to make up for the cancelled mid-semester break.

Key dates for Bayero University, Kano (BUK) students

Students should note these dates from the official second semester calendar:

• Mid-semester break: cancelled and merged with the Christmas and New Year holiday.
• Start of break: 22 December 2025.
• Original resumption date: 3 January 2026.
• New resumption date: 10 January 2026.

This clear change keeps the total rest time for the semester. The only difference is that the rest now comes in one longer block during the Christmas and New Year period.

What students should do now

Students are encouraged to:

• Mark the new break and resumption dates in their personal calendars.
• Plan travel and family visits with the new resumption date of 10 January 2026 in mind.
• Keep an eye on official Bayero University channels for any later notices linked to the second semester calendar.

By keeping to these dates, every student helps the smooth running of teaching, tests, and other academic work after the break.

The Management of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) shares this notice so that students can prepare well for study and rest over the Christmas and New Year period.
