Story from Saleh INUWA
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has approved a cheque of N5 million to be presented to a private school to fund a scholarship for a 13-year-old talented Borno kid, Musa Sani, who used mud to replicate the state’s first flyover around the customs round-about in Maiduguri.
According to a statement signed by the Governor’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, Musa was born into a less privileged family living around Gwange area in Maiduguri, and is a primary three pupil at the Community School Gwange.
“Musa recently caught Zulum’s attention when he used mud to design a flyover that was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari in Maiduguri, back in December”.
Governor Zulum was amazed by the kid’s brilliance. He met his family and offered scholarship that will properly harness his talents.
He also directed the Borno State Education Trust Fund (ETF) to fund the boy’s education.
Chairperson of ETF, Professor Hauwa Biu, presented a cheque of five million and twenty nine thousand naira (N5,029,000) to Golden Olive Academy, Maiduguri, to cater for Musa’s education from primary four to completion of Senior Secondary School.
Professor Biu thanked Governor Zulum for the offer and urged the boy to focus on his studies and make the Governor proud.
