Over one thousand students from Gada and Goronyo have benefitted from a student support scholarship program aimed at encouraging them to focus on their education.
The lawmaker representing Gada/Goronyo Federal Constituency of Sokoto State in the House of Representatives, Bashir Gorau, who funded the scholarship, stated that it fulfills his long-held desire to encourage the pursuit of education in the area.
The scholarship includes a specially designed credit card for beneficiaries, enabling them to access their funds conveniently.
For a start, each student’s credit card is credited with a sum of N40,000 with plans to continue this support until 2027.
He emphasized that the beneficiaries were selected across party lines and urged them to strive for academic excellence to inspire their younger peers to embrace education.
Additionally, he advised that students from the two local government areas be properly guided in making the right career choices through appropriate subject combinations at the secondary school level.
