Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has assured that education would continue to occupy a prominent position on the priority list of his administration for a prosperous future for the state.

He stated today at a grand reception organized in honor of 171 Yobe State students who recently graduated from various universities in India.

“You may recall that this administration sponsored a total of 233 Yobe State indigenes to study medical sciences, engineering, and other allied science courses, which are driven by our needs in the multifaceted post-insurgency recovery programme of our administration.

“As we celebrate the completion of studies of the 171 graduates at this reception, 62 others are still pursuing their studies in line with the duration and other requirements of their courses. I am optimistic that they will also complete their studies successfully and with flying colors to do the state proud,” he said.

According to the governor, the government deliberately sponsored a good number of the students to study medical sciences to meet the state’s desire to build a robust healthcare system that is effective in addressing the challenges of the sector.
