Background of the Study
Blockchain technology, known for its role in supporting cryptocurrencies, has potential applications beyond digital currency. One area where blockchain could revolutionize operations is in university financial transactions. Bayero University, Kano, situated in Gwale LGA, Kano State, handles a variety of financial transactions, including tuition payments, research funding, salaries, and donations. Currently, these transactions are susceptible to delays, errors, and fraud due to the reliance on traditional banking and administrative systems.
Blockchain's decentralized and transparent nature offers a solution to these issues by enabling secure, real-time financial transactions that are immutable and verifiable. By exploring how blockchain can be integrated into the university's financial operations, Bayero University could potentially enhance efficiency, reduce fraud, and increase transparency in the management of financial resources.
