INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP
Project Overview
We welcomed 150 beneficiaries of the Kano State foreign postgraduate scholarship programme, whom are back in Kano after completing their master’s degree program in India.
The beneficiaries represent a diverse group of institutions, with 150 graduating from Sharda University, India, as part of 420 first class holders whom are sponsored by Kano state government under the 1001 foriegn postgraduate scholarship scheme.
Apart from the 150 graduates from Sharda University, there are 98 from Mewar University, 58 from Symbiosis University, 30 from Kalinga University, 29 from SR University, 23 from Swarnim University, and 33 from the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), among others.
In a reception held at the Government House, I commended the students for their hard work, dedication and outstanding performance, noting that the foreign scholarship programme is a cornerstone of our administration’s vision for human capital development.
I also announced automatic employment for graduates in engineering, medicine, pharmaceutical, and other health-related fields.
This move underscores our administration’s commitment to addressing the shortage of skilled healthcare professionals, and improving the state’s healthcare system and infrastructure development. - AKY
