Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has assured that his administration will continue to be consistent in awarding scholarships to qualified Yobe indigenes in tertiary institutions, both at home and in foreign institutions across the world.

The governor disclosed this today at the Government House in Damaturu on the occasion of the award of scholarships to 221 Yobe state law students attending Nigerian law schools across the country.

He is congratulating the Yobe state law graduates on the successful completion of their degree program as they prepare to pursue their professional certificates at the Nigerian law school.

“This administration places a high premium on quality education from the basic foundation through the tertiary and professional courses such as law, accounting, and medical sciences, among others.” Buni said.

He explains why our government has been consistent in providing conducive environments in our schools by reconstructing destroyed and dilapidated ones and establishing new ones.

According to him, this administration’s upscaling of the education sector has been quite fulfilling and fruitful, as reflected in the performance of our students generally.

“Yobe State has sustained a top spot with an unbeaten record in the Northeast sub-region and among the states in Nigeria, providing such opportunities to our students to pursue professional certificates.”

Governor Buni further said, “You should, therefore, pursue your professional course with a great sense of commitment and responsibility to justify government investment in you and to make our dear state proud.”

“You should strive to be good ambassadors of the state, remain reference points of academic and moral excellence, and assure that the government will keenly monitor your activities in the course of your study,” he added.
