Borno state governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has awarded a scholarship worth N5 million to 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.
The primary 3 pupil at a Community school in Gwange is to be enrolled in a private school, Golden Olive Academy, Maiduguri, which will cater for his education from primary four to completion of Senior Secondary School.
Musa who was born into a less privileged family caught the governor's attention when he used mud to design a flyover that was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari in Maiduguri, back in December. His brilliance prompted the Governor to meet his family and offered to approve scholarships for him, to harness his talents.
As directed by the Governor for the Borno State Education Trust Fund (ETF) to fund the boy’s education, the Chairperson of ETF, Prof. Hauwa Biu, presented
A cheque of Five Million and Twenty Nine Thousand Naira (N5,029,000), has been paid to the private school where Musa is now schooling.
