The Borno State Government has released N55.9 million for the payment of registration fees of 153 indigent students admitted into various courses at the Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare in Bauchi State.
The Executive Secretary of the Borno State Scholarship Board, Bala Isa, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, January 5, 2024.
Isa stated that some of the students are studying dentistry, medicine, and radiology.
He said others were admitted to study nursing, optometry, audiology, environmental health, IT and health informatics, physiotherapy, epidemiology and statistics, and nutrition and dietetics.
Isa quoted Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, as advising the students to work hard to justify the effort of the government.
Isa assured the students that the support would be sustained throughout their studies, and lauded the Zulum administration’s commitment to educational growth.
“Such support is in line with the state’s desire to help students from poor families to attain their full potential in life,” he added.
