Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum has selected 19 youths, who are mostly orphans and vulnerable indigenes of the state to study Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) on full government scholarship, for a duration of five years. 

According to a press statement on Wednesday, 1 February, 2023, by the Governor’s spokesman, Mallam Isa Gusau, the students will soon be departing for Suez City in Egypt, to study and obtain the degree.

The beneficiaries of the N250 million worth scholarships

He disclosed that the scholarship to Suez University for which Zulum released N250m was one of the outcomes of a visit to some Egyptian Universities by Governor Zulum in November, 2020.

According to him, the governor had, during that trip, promised to approve scholarship for youths from the most deprived family backgrounds in Borno State to study in Egypt, other countries and across Nigeria. 

Zulum, later in February 2022, made a follow up visit to the Egyptian embassy in Abuja for a meeting with Ambassador Ihab Awad, to discuss the educational partnership.

They were led by Commissioner for Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr Babagana Mallambe, whose ministry supervises Borno State Scholarship Board. 

Zulum congratulated the youths and urged them to focus on their studies and be good ambassadors of Borno and Nigeria.

The governor announced the release of 500 U.S Dollars as special parting gifts to each of the 19 students.

He also said each of them will be receiving 200 U.S Dollars every month in addition to the provision of accommodation and some logistics.
