At the event held in Damaturu, the development advocate Kashim Musa Tumsah, represented by Hajiya Adama Balla, said his intervention in education aims to ensure every child from the grassroots to the city has a chance to succeed.
He explained that grassroots empowerment in education, especially for girls, is transforming entire families. Tumsah commended Yobe State Governor Hon. Mai Mala Buni for prioritizing the education sector, adding that the declaration of a state of emergency on education is yielding positive results.
Each of the 29 students received ₦100,000 for their performance.
