Senator Aliyu M. Wamakko has expressed his commitment to empowering the youth of Sokoto State through education. Following a productive visit to Pakistan, where he met with Nigerian students on his scholarship at the University of Lahore, Senator Wamakko announced plans to award more scholarships to bright students from Sokoto.
“Education is the foundation of progress,” he said. “We will help more young people achieve their dreams.” The senator’s initiative aims to provide opportunities for Sokoto’s youth to access quality education and realize their full potential.
During his visit, Senator Wamakko’s delegation also explored advanced farms and food processing centers in Pakistan, learning modern techniques to improve food production and create jobs. Inspired by what he saw, the senator stressed the need for Nigeria to adopt these methods to transform its agricultural sector.
The senator’s efforts are expected to bring fresh opportunities for Sokoto State’s development, particularly in education and agriculture.
