In a commendable gesture aimed at promoting education and youth development, the Executive Chairman of Sabon Gari Local Government Area and ALGON Chairman of Kaduna State, Hon. Sheikh Abubakar Jamilu Albany, has awarded full scholarships to students from the LGA who have secured admission into the Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology (NILEST), Zaria.
The scholarship, fully funded by the chairman, covers tuition fees from the students' first year through to graduation. This initiative is expected to ease the financial burden on the beneficiaries and encourage academic excellence.
According to sources from the local government secretariat, the selection process was based on merit, focusing on indigenes of Sabon Gari LGA who were recently admitted into NILEST for various programs.
The students, visibly elated, have extended their heartfelt gratitude to Hon. Abubakar Jamilu Albany for the generous support. They also expressed appreciation to the Governor of Kaduna State for fostering a political atmosphere that enables such impactful interventions.
“We are very thankful for this rare opportunity,” said one of the beneficiaries. “This scholarship has given us a chance to pursue our dreams without worrying about financial constraints.”
Hon. Sheikh Abubakar Jamilu Albany reiterated his administration’s commitment to educational empowerment, saying, “Investment in education is investment in the future. We will continue to support our youths in every way possible to ensure they succeed.”
The move has been widely praised by community leaders, parents, and educational stakeholders who see it as a significant step toward uplifting the standard of education in the area.
Good job 🙌
