The Kaduna State Government has dismissed news report that Governor Uba Sani has unveiled a scholarship programme through a private organization otherwise known as SKAID, solely for Southern Kaduna students.
This was contained in a statement signed by Nasir Dambatta, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Print Media, and made available to media men.
According to the statement, “the administration restated its commitment for equal educational development of all students across Kaduna State, irrespective of geographic or ethnic backgrounds”.
“The SKAID Foundation’s initiative, while focused on Southern Kaduna, is purely a private effort.”
“Governor Sani’s overarching policies prioritizes inclusivity and the upliftment of indigent students throughout the state.”
“This clarification is to correct any misconceptions that seek to politicize the governor’s efforts”, Dambatta stated.
Southern Kaduna comprised of the Christian majority indigenous people inhabiting the entire parts of southern area of Kaduna state beginning from mainly from Kaduna South, and beyond.
