Dr. Yakubu Adamu, the 2027 governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Bauchi State, has initiated a N200 million bursary programme. This programme aims to support students from Bauchi State who are studying in tertiary institutions across Nigeria. The bursary fund was sourced from donations made by friends and well-wishers in support of Adamu's campaign. A portion of these donations was redirected by Adamu to fund the bursary programme, demonstrating his commitment to education and student welfare.
The director-general of the APM Governorship campaign council in Bauchi State, Alhaji Hamza Koshe Akuyam, announced the bursary programme in a statement. According to Akuyam, the initiative is part of Adamu's efforts to empower the people of Bauchi State, particularly youths, in various sectors. These sectors include education, entrepreneurship, agriculture, technology, trade, artisanship, and other areas of human development. The programme seeks to ease the financial burden on students and encourage them to focus on their studies.
The bursary scheme complements the state government's existing interventions in education. Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed has been commended for his efforts to improve education and support students in Bauchi State. The state government's initiatives, such as the Kaura Economic Empowerment Programme (KEEP) and the timely payment of scholarships to students in tertiary institutions, are being supplemented by the APM's bursary programme. This demonstrates a collaborative approach to supporting education in the state.
Interested students from Bauchi State who are studying in tertiary institutions across Nigeria can apply for the bursary through a designated online portal. The APM campaign council director-general, Alhaji Hamza Koshe Akuyam, urged eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity. The bursary programme is designed to support students and encourage them to pursue their studies without financial distractions.
The APM governorship candidate, Dr. Yakubu Adamu, remains committed to promoting education and supporting students from Bauchi State. According to Akuyam, the candidate's commitment to education and student welfare is evident in the bursary programme. The programme is one of several initiatives aimed at uplifting education and supporting students in the state.
The N200 million bursary programme is a significant investment in the education of Bauchi State students. By providing financial support, the programme aims to enable students to meet their academic needs and remain focused on their studies. The initiative has been welcomed as a positive development in the state's education sector.
The APM's bursary programme is set to benefit students from Bauchi State who are studying in tertiary institutions across Nigeria. With the online application portal now open, eligible students can apply for the bursary. The programme's impact on education in Bauchi State will be closely watched as it seeks to support students and promote academic success.
