The management of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has created numerous job opportunities for its current students. This is contained in a special bulletin dated Tuesday, January 9, 2024.
According to the director of the Counselling and Human Development Centre, Dr Sa’adatu Makarfi, the initiative named Students Work/Study Scheme aims to provide financial support to needy students and enhance their educational experience.
The scheme welcomes interested and capable students to work in areas such as coaching (for primary and secondary school students), research assistance, computer operation, harvesting, babysitting, laundry and car washing. Students can equally work as masters of ceremonies, and those with other specific skills are also encouraged to apply.
Interested students are to visit any of the Guidance and Human Development Centre offices at both the Samaru and Kongo campuses for registration or more information.
The Daily Reality gathered from some ex-students of ABU that the Centre has been assisting needy students who can work while studying, but this is probably the first time it is publicly calling for registration.
