Abstract

This study examines the use of social media for information sharing among undergraduate students in Northwest University Kano. In recent years, social media platforms have become important tools for communication, collaboration, and academic interaction among university students. These digital platforms enable students to share educational materials, exchange ideas, access news, and engage in discussions beyond the traditional classroom environment. As a result, social media has significantly transformed how students obtain and disseminate information within academic communities.
