Over the years, when the service of the institution in field of training improved, the name of the school was changed to Ahmadu Bello University institution of Health, school of Hygiene, Kano. When the institution was run by ABU, the people of Kano realized that the indigenes of Kano were not benefiting well in terms of admission despite playing host of the school. This led to an agitation for the transfer of the ownership of the college to Kano state
government during the administration of late Sabo Bakin Zuwo. This led to its take over in 1980. New equipment and facilities were installed and training was improved upon.
