The N250 million scholarship to Suez University was one of the outcomes of Governor Zulum’s November 2020 visit to some Egyptian universities.

During that tour, the governor vowed to authorize scholarships for students from the most disadvantaged families in Borno State to study in Egypt, other countries, and across Nigeria.

Zulum, later in February 2022, made a follow-up visit to the Egyptian embassy in Abuja for a meeting with Ambassador Ihab Awad, to discuss the educational partnership.NYSC portal

The 19 youths who benefitted from that partnership were selected from Borno’s 27 local government areas, comprising of 12 young men and seven young women.

Governor Zulum received the 19 beneficiaries at the Government House, Maiduguri.

They were led by Commissioner for Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Babagana Mustapha Mallambe, whose ministry supervises Borno State Scholarship Board.

Zulum congratulated the youths and urged them to focus on their studies and be good ambassadors of Borno and Nigeria.
