Kano — The Kano State government has spent over N10 billion in sponsoring 2,388 indigenes of the state to study different in public and private universities across the globe.
The state governor, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, disclosed this during a send-forth ceremony for 222 students to the International University of East Africa, Uganda and American University in Nigeria, Yola respectively. "We are proud of all the students we have sent abroad for studies. Their attitude both morally and academically has been so far very encouraging. It is our conviction that at the expiration of our administration, we would leave behind for posterity a state with a robust economy and a strengthened and reinvigorated educational system," he said.
