MASTERCHIEF0847:

So the girl's education is a misplaced priority? Because you're an illiterate you won't understand the importance of education to the girl child.

The girl applied for medicine in ABU Zaria,but because of competition for MBBS,she was gvn anatomy.The media mislead Nigerians that she was denied admission in Zaria.

Haba, how sir?

Does the girl want to study at Benue state university?

Admission should be the responsibility of the BSU admissions board. Ortom is not the VC of the university and even if he was, he should not be imposing a student on them. There should be an admission process that should be followed.

It’s a nice gesture offering the girl scholarship but he shouldn’t be interfering on the admission process of the university.

I thought ABU has Offered her Admission to Study Medicine.

GOV ORTOM OFFERS NIGER STATE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP, DIRECTS HER ADMISSION INTO BSU

The Benue State University Visitor, Governor Samuel Ortom has directed the institution to offer admission to Miss Goodness Thomas, an indegene of Niger State who emerged as best graduating student of St. Clement's Secondary School, Gbaiko Minna for year 2019, but was denied admission by another university.

Governor Ortom's directive follows reports that despite scoring 302 points in her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), 278 points in post UTME test and six A1s in her Senior School Certificate Examination, Goodness was not given admission, thereby failing to realize her dream to study Medicine and Surgery.

The Governor further gives assurance that the foundation he established which runs charity programmes will place Miss Thomas on scholarship during her stay in Benue State University.

He reaffirms the resolve of his administration to encourage young people who excel in their chosen careers to succeed, irrespective of religion, tribe and place of origin.

Governor Ortom wishes Miss Goodness Thomas a successful academic career.

Why make it a news, that is part of why we have government

Clone of a governor.
Why sending her to BSU instead of Harvard, MIT, Californian university or any top foreign university.
Did his own children attended BSU?
Sending her to BSU is d same as sending her back to secondary school.

Benue is not an educational center but a farming center.
I visited North core of Federal university of Agriculture Makurdi nd I gave up on education. I begin to wonder if University of agriculture which is a federal university is an eyesore I wonder how BSU which is a state university will be.



What am I even saying?
A governor that used wheelbarrow to do empowerment for d youths is capable of doing anything.

U can't generalize because u visited north core of Uni Agric.

Ortom, as useless as ever! From distributing wheel barrow as ‘empowerment item’, owing several months of salaries, and practically abandoning all the roads in Makurdi to go terribly bad, but got re-elected using the Fulani herdsmen imbroglio...

How could a Governor give DIRECTIVES to a University to grant admission to anyone? Why usurp the function of the Academic Office/Director, Admission Officer, and Senate of the University?

This is another thoughtless “publicity stunt” by the irredeemably useless Ortom!

A lot of our politicians are incurably unintelligent!

If he sends her to Harvard, demons like you will still cry.

Have you ever in your life paid school fees for any poor child?

Oga I can excuse you to lie but I can't accept you to lie "authoritatively.

For the records, Ortom is still owing salaries ranging from 6 to 18 months. What he did was to jump to 2018 leaving the backlogs.

I am from Benue too.

Don't mind the guy, he never knew BENUE indigenes are NLanders as well. SMH!

Good move!

ochejoseph:
Thank you your Excellency ... History will be kind to you.

For sending such a brilliant student to a glorified secondary school? History will remember him if he sends her to where his children are schooling, in Europe or US. Otherwise he is destroying her talent.
Her parents should reject this offer.

Let’s hope the girl won’t reject a state university

Blackking98:
Dah. You're wicked o. Asin seriously wicked

The guy is actually right. Its misplaced priorities and eyes service. Have the governor placed his own state indigenes with good grades on scholarship. He just saw a chance to put his name in the news and he took it. Even though the girl scores and performance is quite impressive, im 100% sure its not impressive enough to study medicine in top universities like ABU, unilorin, unilag and their likes... believe it or not this private school beside me usually placed their top student results and more dan 20 students always score 300 and above in jamb. And most federal uni dont admit up to 100students for medicine. I sincerely blive more dan 150 have better results dan her applied 4 ABU medicine. Hence, she was offered d next nearest tin to medicine which is human anatomy. But 4 me sha, at that age i will rather accept that human anatomy, work harder on my jamb score and try reapply for medicine in ABU. I rather be an alumni of ABU dan BSU. Thats my opinion though

That's how they are distrupting the system. When has the governor suddenly becomes admission officer or the University senate.
ABU is far better than BSU
