Of the 45 students, 30 were sponsored by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) (Record ID#86797) and the other 15 were sponsored by CSU (Record ID#86897).

The joint degree program was established on April 28th, 2018 through a memorandum of understanding between representatives of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) and Central South University (CSU) in Changsha, Hunan. The MOU established a joint degree program between ABU and CSU.
