“Following this achievement, the government offered her automatic employment and the governor has now approved other things for her beyond the employment.
“Aminat Yusuf will be sponsored on scholarship for one year in the Nigerian Law School and that the government will be responsible for the provision of all her needs till she completes the programme.
“For every month that she will be in law school, she will receive an up-keep allowance equivalent to the salary of a State Counsel.
“This is in recognition of the feat she achieved in LASU. We are proud of her achievement and hope she would join us after her law school programme as we will write to NYSC to ensure that she embarks on her one-year compulsory youth service in the State.”
