Kano State Government Spends N2.7B on Students Studying Abroad
Despite economic recession bedeviling 36 states in Nigeria with some of them recalling back their students studying abroad, Kano state government in last year has paid N2.7 billion on students studying abroad.
Addressing some students who paid an appreciation visit to the state government over sponsorship to complete their Masters Degree in India at Kano Government House on Friday, Governor Abdullah Umar Ganduje reassured that all the state foreign students would be supported and financed to graduate.
Governor Ganduje lamented that the state federal financial allocation has dropped by two-third, pointing out that even himself and all other political appointees are receiving half salaries and allowances.
"Therefore this administration would do all it can to sustain and finance the foreign students to complete their studies through minimizing the little they may received from the government," he stressed.
Governor Ganduje appealed to the students not let mischievous politicians use them against the government, reiterating that the all the money paid by the previous government was the state money not a personal one.
He thanked the students for thinking twice to understand the bad economic situation as well as appreciate the government's efforts in addressing her different programs with the little incomes if compare with past years, promising to secure them jobs either with the state, federal and private sector .
In their speech, representatives of students and parents, Muhammad Mustapha and Tijjani Baraya appreciated the concern shown by present administration when the immediate past government caused hardship to them via non payments of their allowances and university fees.
