Group lauds Sen. Yari’s scholarship award to 2,055 vulnerable students
A group known as the Arewa Christian Youth Leadership Forum (ACYLF), has commended Sen. Abdul’aziz Yari for his commitment to education and human capital development, through the Yari Scholarship Initiative.
Mr Dunijir Gatama, the National Chairman of ACYLF, gave the commendation in a statement issued in Gombe on Monday.
He said the initiative had helped to boost access to education in the Northern Nigeria.
Gatama said that over N216 million had been disbursed under the initiative for the payment of tuition fees for 2,055 orphans and vulnerable students in one year.
He said the intervention was timely and visionary considering the challenges affecting school retention and the education sector in the region.
“This initiative is covering both public and private universities across 14 local government areas of Zamfara State.
“The initiative reflects the senator’s deep compassion and his unwavering belief in the power of education to change lives.
“ACYLF recognises education as the bedrock of any strong and prosperous nation.
“By granting equal access to tertiary education regardless of economic status, Yari is laying a foundation for a more just and empowered Northern Nigeria,” Gatama said.
He said that the monthly stipend of N15, 000 provided to each beneficiary, further demonstrated the holistic support embedded in the initiative.
He ACYLF chairman, therefore, called on other political leaders, philanthropists, and well-meaning elites across Northern Nigeria to emulate Yari’s exemplary gesture.
“At a time when many students face economic hardship and lack the means to access education, Yari’s initiative shines as a beacon of hope and leadership in action,” he said.
Gatama added that the association would continue to support leaders who prioritised the future of youths by amplifying noble efforts that promote equity, education, and sustainable development in the North and beyond.
