Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, alongside his wife, Haj. Dr. Aisha Bala Mohammed (Kauran Bauchi), yesterday hosted a farewell reception for 50 indigenous students awarded full scholarships to pursue various academic programmes in China.
The students, who are scheduled to depart Nigeria soon, visited the Governor to express their profound gratitude for the sponsorship opportunity and to seek his blessings before their journey.
Governor Mohammed warmly congratulated the scholars and charged them to be law-abiding ambassadors throughout their stay.
He urged them to remain focused on their primary academic objectives, reminding them that they represent not only their parents but also the entire Bauchi State and Nigeria as a whole.
In her remarks, the First Lady, Haj. Dr. Aisha Bala Mohammed, assured the students that the Governor and the State Government are immensely proud to sponsor their education.
She encouraged them to be studious and dedicated, stating that their success would be a source of pride for the state and a justification of the government’s investment in their future.
The scholarship scheme is a key initiative of the Bauchi State Government aimed at building human capital by providing world-class education to its indigenes.
