Lawmaker disburses N20m scholarship to 700 undergraduates

Member representing Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, Mansur Manu Soro, has disbursed scholarship worth N20 million to 700 undergraduates to support their academic pursuit.

Speaking during the flag off of the education grant to students of Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency held in Bauchi State University Gadau, Yuli Campus, Rep Soro explained that the support was necessary following the widespread hardship faced by students in raising tuition fees, especially at the time when universities and colleges are jerking up their fees.

Represented by member representing Ganjuwa West in the State House of Assembly Hon Garba Adamu, Soro said education remains the critical tool that emancipates nations from the shackles of slavery and the vicious cycle of illiteracy, poverty, unemployment and diseases.

“This grant is given to encourage access to education by our younger ones through legislative intervention. This is the third year we are facilitating this intervention but I felt we are not doing enough. Hence my resolve to explore the possibility of introducing Darazo/Ganjuwa Educational Endowment Funds in 2024,” the lawmaker said.
