Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has organised a grand reception for 171 graduates of the Buni Foreign Scholarship Scheme for a successful completion of their studies in India.
Addressing the gathering at the grand reception, Governor Buni said It is pertinent to note that the state’s huge investments in education are predicated on its firm belief in the direct relationship between education and development.
He revealed that the state’s collective ability to surmount challenges effectively lies in its efficiency and technical know-how to achieve goals with the human and material resources at its disposal.
Buni stated that the state deliberately sponsored a good number of students to study Medical Sciences to meet their desire of building a robust healthcare system that is effective in meeting the challenges of the sector.
The governor further said this would contribute to the speedy recovery, growth, and development of the state.

“I am optimistic that these young graduates would provide the needed manpower with the requisite skills in our health facilities, especially our efforts in providing one functional Primary Health Care Centre in each of the 178 electoral wards of the state.
“Your commitment to serving the people in all nooks and crannies of the state would further justify the government’s investment in you.
“As part of our mission for a greater Yobe State, the sponsorship of these graduates was not restricted to Medical Sciences. Some of them studied Civil Engineering, Computer Technology, Agriculture, Information Technology, Petroleum Engineering, and Law, among others,” said Governor Buni.
He noted that the present administration in the state, convinced with the collective efforts of citizens, would effectively and efficiently address various challenges of the
state especially in communities where expertise is most needed.
He urged the graduates to remember the values of dedication, hard work, empathy, and commitment, which have guided them to successfully complete their studies and graduate with flying colours.
