The Borno State Government has finalised arrangements to offer special scholarships to financially challenged students pursuing nursing and midwifery studies.
Malam Bala Isa, the Executive Secretary of Borno State Scholarship Board, stated this in Maiduguri on Friday under the leadership of the Executive Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum.
“The Executive Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, is providing special scholarship to Borno state indigenes interested in studying nursing and midwifery.
“The prospective candidates must have credits in English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in either WAEC, NECO or NABTEB.”

It could be recalled that Zulum had during his 2nd term inauguration speech, announced plans to build two additional schools of nursing and midwifery in the state to provide more manpower to the health sector.
