Gov. Kashim Shettima on Tuesday honoured Galadima Isreal, the Nigeria's 2018 highest score JAMB candidate with full scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Covenant University in Ogun state. Israel Galadima from Borno State came first in JAMB with a score of 364.

Impressed by Zakari's performance, Gov. Shettima invited Zakari and his mother, Jummai Galadima, where he honoured him with N5m full scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State under the Borno State Ministry of Higher Education.

At the council chambers of the Borno State Government House, the Governor thanked them for honouring his invitation, reiterating how proud of him he is.

"It is my honour of Meeting the JAMB King Galadima Israel, an indigene of Borno who scored highest in the 2018 tertiary matriculation examination in Nigeria.

"We are mightily proud of this young man, an orphan raised by a single mother by coming first nationwide after scoring 364 in the 2018 JAMB examination. We must identify with our son of Boko Haram ravaged Borno who defiled against all odds and became victorious”. he said.

Shettima urged all to be generous and support one another devoid of religious or tribal diffrences.

The Governor said since he will be completing his tenure in 2019, he prefers to approve payment upfront in order to ensure that Isreal, who made nine distinctions after taking this year’s West African Examination Council's (WAEC) papers, does not have to follow-up on any tuition at the State scholarship board.

"Israel, as his mother has told us, was raised as an orphan. The mother lost her husband who was a Major in the Nigerian Army about 14 years ago and she singlehandedly raised three children.

"Israel is the second of her children. She works in Lagos as a Banker, we don't have to make her travel all the way to Maiduguri again to pursue any payment.

She has done her part by raising a child with excellence, and that child has made Borno State very proud. It's our turn to support him.

"I will suggest that the mother pays all the fees upfront to avoid any tuition increase in future. I am particular about Israel because he was raised as an orphan" Shettima said.

Earlier in her remarks, Mrs. Jummai Galadima, the mother, thanked Governor Kashim Shettima for the support for her son.

If the dude had followed the manner of your post, he would failed woefully. The reports cull from mainstream news houses indicate it was UTME not JAMB. I know that JAMB is not UTME.

Terrorists department of Nigeria has finally decided to embrace education.

Toonu Chineke anyị

Track records has shown us that Nigerian leaders will award u scholarship and leave u halfway the course.

Pls don't demotivate this young chap

I'm a publisher.

Contact me for any book publishing secret u need.

Covenant University again? I used to have the impression that these private Universities are for rich folks who couldn't make the cut off for schools like Unilag or OAU. I never knew brainy folks like this could choose them as First Choice.

Wait o.... Is he Israel Galadima or Zakari Galadima?

What is going on here?

Mtcheeeew... Schools in a developed country nko

Nice

Lucky boy. Super Genius

lol what's the difference between Jamb and UTME?

Abeg UTME is Jamb while Post UTME is Aptitude test

Jamb is an organization.

Utme is an exam conducted and organized by jamb (the organization)

Just like..

W.A.E.C Is an organization (Exam Council)

W.A.S.S.C.E Is the exam conducted by W.A.E.C

They aren't thesame

Okay na

Uhn

Hmmmm

Thank you on his behalf for schooling him.

good step

This is what every affluent person ought to start doing rather than the masses asking Oyedepo to run blanket free education for everyone. Today, Jim Ovia sponsores 10 people completely for free at Covenant and another 10 in Ashesi. Even the so called middle class people should also sponsor poor folks in govt unis before attacking churches.

One man/organization can establish a university but one man/organization can never fund it alone.

Congratulations to Galadima Isreal. Welcome to Hebron!

CodeTemplar:
This is so cool. Sane and sharp minds are picking Covensnt Uni as their choice.
When he grads with a good grade let one subsidized loser come and tell us how he would have ended up with pass in RABU (Rice And Beans University ) or URAB ( University of Rice And Beans ).

When he grads with 5.0 they would say "bring him to OAU he will get 3rd class". With the admission stats in CU now it is safe to say we arguably recruit some of the topmost candidates in this country..

JAMB is the agency that conducts the exams. UTME is the exam itself.

You are not smart. He is a Christian. His name is Israel. Muslims hate to hear that name. That's by the way, apart from Kanuri, we have Marghi, Burah, Ngoshe, Matakam with significant number of Christians. Christians in Borno State are upto 20%. Among all the tribes in Nigeria, Kanuri man hardly accept Christianity, but thank God for Kanuri Christian Project that translated Jesus of Nazareth film in Kanuri; we have about 2,000 Kanuri converts in Borno/Yobe states.
Note: We have real Hausa Christian indegenes
in Kano, Katsina, Kebbi and a very few in Sokoto States.

You are funny. There are numerous folks in CU with over 300 in utme(especially engineering) Covenant is now a top destination for some of the brainiest kids from schools like Presco, Ambassadors college, Loyola, Faith Academy.. CU, abuad, babcock are viable options for parents who don't want to travel their kids out.

Defiled?
