The Governor of Adamawa State has offered automatic employment to sixty engineering students who were sponsored to study in India and have successfully completed their one-year mandatory service.
The graduates visited the Government House to express their gratitude to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for the scholarship opportunity that enabled them to study abroad.
Briefing reporters at the Government House after the students met with Governor Fintiri, the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr. Umar Umar Garba Pella, stated that the graduates deeply appreciated the Governor for sponsoring their education.
Dr. Pella recalled that the scholarship scheme was introduced in 2020 to support Adamawa indigenes in pursuing five-year engineering programs in India.
He noted that the Governor, impressed with the students’ performance, reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustaining the program for the benefit of more Adamawa indigenes.
Dr. Pella further assured that the State Government is making adequate preparations to send another batch of students to study in China under its next scholarship program.
