The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Students’ Affairs, Amb. Muhammad Salisu Seeker, described the gesture as “a noble and historic act of kindness,” adding that it reflects the government’s determination to invest in human capital development.
The initiative, he said, is a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to ensuring that no student in Jigawa is left behind due to financial or physical challenges.
