Celebrating Governor Mai Mala Buni’s Investments in Education
Governor Mai Mala Buni’s investments in education are yielding impressive results. Usman Mohammed Kadai, a beneficiary of Buni’s foreign scholarship program, graduated with First Class honors in Software Engineering from a university in Portsmouth, UK, and received a prestigious undergraduate Project Award. This achievement underscores the success of Buni’s Recovery Through Education and Scholarship (RETES) initiative.
Since declaring a ‘State of Emergency’ on Education in 2019, Governor Buni has made significant strides in revitalizing Yobe State’s education sector. This includes establishing a comprehensive scholarship program, sponsoring students abroad, and reconstructing educational facilities affected by insurgency. The state has seen remarkable improvements in educational outcomes, with many students excelling in various disciplines.
The governor’s efforts have provided thousands of students with scholarships, contributing to their success both locally and internationally. The recognition of Governor Buni’s work by the Association of African Students in India further affirms the positive impact of his educational reforms.
