Borno State government has begun the payment of N624
million worth of scholarship to its 23,776 indigenous
students studying at about 49 tertiary institutions across the
country.
Speaking during the flag off on Monday in Maiduguri, the
state commissioner for Higher Education, Technology and
Innovation, Dr Babagana Mustapha Mallambe, noted that
due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the prolonged ASUU
strike, payment of the scholarship was divided into two
phases by the governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum.

Mallambe said in the phase one, students from nine
institutions within the state got their benefits being that they
are not outside the state.
He said now that ASUU has called off strike, and academic
activities expected to kick start in tertiary institutions across
the country, Governor Zulum has directed the scholarship
board and its banker to ensure that immediately the flagging
off is over, students should start getting their alerts.
“I will look into all the requests made by the executive
director of the scholarship board with regards to the welfare
of staff, running cost ,upgrading of internet services in the
board among others,” the Commissioner said.
Dr. Mallambe commissioned the installed internet service of
the board; launched the board’s portal and distributed
certificates to staff of the board that participated in
computer and internet training.
The commissioner also disclosed that Governor Zulum had
approved financial support to resident doctors of Borno
origin located in different parts of the country, to enable
them fund capacity development programmes that would be
potentially beneficial to Borno people in the long run.https://leadership.ng/borno-begins-payment-of-n624m-scholarship-to-23-776-students/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala

If we want to be logical and sensible about what zulum said..
A reasonable person would understand and know what he is
saying is not devoid of common sense and should not be
trivialized this way.
