“We deemed it necessary to come to the aid of parents who don’t have the opportunity to sponsor their children to pursue their studies to pursue their dreams and aspirations to become meaningful citizens in their society,” Miqdad said. “This, we believe, will transform their lives.”
As part of this commitment, the Chairman awarded full scholarships to 96 students for studies at the Katsina State Institute of Technology and Management (KSITM). The students will study 15 courses offered by the institution, and Miqdad urged them to be committed and punctual, emphasising that the government has invested millions of Naira in the project.
“We are appealing to our constituents to be patient with the government; we truly mean well to them, and they will be able to see the transformational changes that we will bring in the area of education because we believe investment in education is the most critical one one can ever have,” Miqdad stated.
