Best Jamb student gets scholarship from Borno Government.
Kashim Shettima, the Borno state Governor has ordered the release of 5M naira for the full payment of Israel Galadima who is going to Covenant University to study Electrical Engineering.
Israel Galadima Zakari from Biu Borno State, emerged overall best in Nigeria after scoring 364 in the 2018 Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Gov. Shetima said, the payment of the scholarship will be paid upfront because he wouldn’t want the family to be subjected to any bureaucracy after he has left Office.
His words “Israel, as his mother has told us, was raised without a father, the mother lost her husband who was a major in the Nigerian Army about 14 years ago and she singlehandedly raised 3 children.
Israel is the second child, she works in lagos as a banker, we don’t have to make her travel all the way to Maidugiri again to pursue any payment.
She has done her part by raising a child with Excellence, and the child has made Borno State very proud, it’s our turn to support him.
Israel’s mother, Jummai, who was overwhelmed with tears of joy praised the commitment of Gov. Shetima for the Honor done to the family, describing the gesture as beyond expectation.
“Your Excellency i have been taking care of the 3 children since i lost my husband. I work in the bank in lagos, Israel has a sister in the university, with your kindness that is beyond our expectation, you have lifted a big burden on me, she said.”
