Sokoto State Government
has approved the
sponsorship of 131 students
for various courses abroad,
Gov. Aliyu Wamakko said.
Wamakko disclosed this
during a fare well ceremony
organised for the students
on Tuesday in Sokoto.
Addressing the beneficiaries,
the governor said that the
students would pursue
various first and masters
degrees in Engineering,
Pharmacy, Medicine,
Architecture, Computer and
Petroleum Engineering,
among other courses.
According to him, the
students will undergo their
studies in various
universities in India, United
Arab Emirate and the
Republic of Sudan, among
others.

Wamakko said that the
gesture was part of the
sustained efforts of the state
government to bolster the
educational standard of the
state.
”’ This is also part of our
modest efforts to ensure the
training of adequate
manpower for all the sectors
of the economy of the state.
” You should justify the
confidence reposed in you
by the state government by
investing heavily in your
educational endeavours.
” This, you should do, by
dedicating yourselves to
your studies and shunning
all acts capable of denting
the image of the state and
Nigeria in general.”

In his remarks, the
Chairman of the State
Scholarship Board, Alhaji
Abdulkadior Jelani,
commended the state
government for its sustained
gesture of sponsoring
indigenes of the state within
and outside the country.
Jelani appealed to the
beneficiaries to judiciously
utilise the gesture by
studying religiously and
ensuring high moral
standards.

This is not good enough why should u sponsor 131 students to abroad why not in Nigeria. this is how our leaders downgrade our educational sector in Nigeria. you spend Nigerian money by sponsoring student abroad... the certificate gotten there will be use in Nigeria and graduate from Nigeria will not be recognise by there own certificate........ this is silly.........




let us embrace our education in Nigeria.....
