By; ABBAS SHEHU, Bauchi.
In his determination to encourage and make youth purposeful in the area of education for development of Bauchi State and Nigeria, the Senator Representing Bauchi South Senatorial District, Shehu Buba Umar, has sponsored 364 students that wrote JAMB/UTME Exams from seven local government areas of his constituency.
The students participated in 2024 JAMB Exams yesterday at Alfurqan International Academy along Yalwa Road Bauchi, after receiving three months intensive training on how to approach the exams.
Speaking shortly on the exams in Bauchi, the Coordinator of Shehu Buba Education Endowment Support, Alhaji Awwal Umar, thanked Almighty God for the opportunity given to his boss to sponsor 364 children of poor and less privileged students in his catchment area to enjoy the endowment.
He informed the students that Senator Shehu Buba would sponsor their education to any higher institution in Nigeria if they pass the examination.
Awwal said the support has nothing to do with politics, because the Senator does not know anyone among the beneficiaries.
He revealed that feeding, transportation and allowances were given to the students during the training and on exams day.
Some of the beneficiaries, who spoke on behalf of the other students, lauded the Senator for supporting the less privileged and prayed to Almighty Allah to protect and reward him abundantly.
They called on other politicians and well to do individuals to emulate the good gesture of Senator Shehu Buba.
