Bayero University Kano, popularly known as BUK, is situated in Kano State, Nigeria. Founded in 1975, BUK is the first university situated in Kano State. It was upgraded from university college to a university and was renamed Bayero University College.

Bayero University was initially called Ahmadu Bello College. It was named after Ahmadu Bello; the former Premier of Northern Nigeria.

In January 1960, the Northern Nigeria Ministry of Education founded Ahmadu Bello College to prepare senior secondary certificate holders for A-level and G.C.E in Arabic, Islamic History, English Literature, Hausa, and Islamic Studies.

It was renamed Abdullahi Bayero College after the then Emir of Kano, Abdullahi Bayero. This was done after the establishment of Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Kaduna State.
