By Jabiru Hassan, Kano

The Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has announced plans to sponsor 400 students from Kano North for undergraduate studies at the Federal University Dutsin-ma (FUDMA) centers in Kano State.

This initiative, valued at ₦140 million, aims to cover the students’ educational expenses for four years. The program primarily targets underprivileged students who lack the financial means to pay for registration fees, offering them an opportunity to pursue higher education.

Senator Barau emphasized that the sponsorship seeks to empower these students, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic development of Kano North. By increasing the number of educated individuals in the district, the initiative aspires to foster regional growth and development.

The Senator’s commitment to education is well-documented. In the past, he sponsored 70 students for foreign studies and has pledged to continue supporting qualified candidates for higher education.

The FUDMA centers in Kano State are expected to play a pivotal role in providing quality education and resources to the sponsored students. The establishment of these centers underscores Senator Barau’s dedication to improving access to education in his constituency.

This sponsorship is a testament to Senator Barau’s vision of empowering the youth. Through this investment in education, he is laying the groundwork for a brighter future for Kano North.

The initiative was highlighted in a statement issued by his aide, Hon. Saifullahi Haladu, who commended the Senator for his unwavering dedication to youth development and education.
