The Bauchi State Government, under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed, has assured indigenous students in the state that all pending scholarship awards will be settled in the month of January.
Governor Bala Mohammed made this commitment during a meeting with the leadership and members of the National Union of Bauchi State Students (NUBASS) at the government house in Bauchi. The visit by NUBASS was to congratulate the Governor on his victory at the Supreme Court.
Expressing concern over the delay in disbursing the scholarships, Governor Mohammed, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Barrister Ibrahim Kashim, assured that he would direct relevant stakeholders, including the Commissioner of Education and the Treasury office, to investigate the reasons for the delay and address the pending issues promptly.
Governor Mohammed appreciated the solidarity visit from the students and pledged increased commitment to their welfare.
In response, the National President of NUBASS, Comrade Adam Muhammad Tukur, congratulated the Governor on his victory and emphasized the importance of addressing the concerns of affected students. He stated that approximately thirty percent of students, both within and outside the state, are yet to receive their scholarships despite the Governor’s approval.
Comrade Tukur reiterated the Indigenous students’ commitment to supporting Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration. The Governor’s assurance to clear the outstanding scholarships reflects a dedication to the educational welfare of the students in Bauchi State.
