By Uzair Adam

The Barau I Jibrin Foundation (BIJF), established by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator (Dr.) Barau I Jibrin, has published the list of beneficiaries for its 2024 foreign postgraduate scholarships.

The scholarships focus on fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics technology, cybersecurity, and forensic science.

A statement issued on Thursday by Ismail Mudashir, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Senator Barau, revealed that students from Kano Central, Kano North, and Kano South Senatorial Districts have been selected to pursue advanced studies abroad.

The scholarship initiative aims to foster academic excellence and support technological development in Nigeria.

The scholarships were designed to address the shortage of skilled professionals in these specialized areas.

Admission letters will be distributed to the beneficiaries on Monday, September 9th, 2024, at the Amani Event Centre in Kano.

This move aligns with Senator Barau’s commitment to educational empowerment and the promotion of expertise in cutting-edge technological fields.
