Borno Shocks With N500m Scholarship Boost For Students’ Registration Fees

The Borno State Government has taken a significant step in supporting education by approving the allocation of more than N500 million for the payment of registration fees for 19 medical students and 93 nursing students.

The announcement was made by the Executive Secretary of the Borno State Scholarship Board, Malam Bala Isa, during a statement issued in Maiduguri on Tuesday.

Malam Bala Isa explained that among these beneficiaries, the 19 medical students are pursuing their studies at the Suez University in Egypt, while the 93 nursing students are enrolled in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) Nursing School.

This decision underlines the commitment of Governor Babagana Zulum’s administration to the state’s long-term 25-year development plan and the 10-year strategic transformation initiative. The state government is fully dedicated to providing financial support for the students throughout the entirety of their educational journey.

Governor Zulum himself encouraged the students to approach their studies with dedication and diligence, acknowledging the government’s commitment to furthering their education.

This investment in education underscores the state’s drive to empower its students, ultimately contributing to the growth and development of Borno State.
