Speaker Abbas’s aide distributes 250 JAMB forms to Dala Students
Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim, a senior legislative aide to the Speaker House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has distributed two hundred and fifty Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms to students in Kano State.
The distribution exercise was held at Mubayya House in Kano on Monday.
The beneficiaries were drawn from twelve wards of Dala Local Government of Kano State.
Distributing the forms to the selected student, Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim said that the idea was conceived out of his passion to give back to his society, saying the gesture was meant to help the less privileged.
He said that plans are in the pipeline to introduce an educational fund which will support students in Dala Local Government Area.
Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim said, “First of all, I found it proper that we all have a responsibility in one way or the other to contribute to the educational development of our local government in particular and our dear state in general.
“It is my belief that certain educational attainment has the power to make sure that the people of Dala local government compete effectively with their peers from other local governments in the state and then excel in their fields of endeavors.
“To wall this talk, I decided to distribute 250 JAMB forms to less privileged students in Dala Local Government. Our investment in education will not stop here. We will follow up this gesture with other measures to ensure that the selected students get admitted into the universities of their choice.”
However, the aide said that he has made arrangements to ensure that the beneficiaries get admitted into the universities of their choice.
He added, “We are planning to offer scholarships to some of the students thereafter. This will come at intervals.
“This exercise is an attempt in our own small way to emulate the humanistic projects executed by some progressive politicians in Kano State like the member representing Bichi Federal constituency, Abubakar Kabir Bichi, who is doing everything possible to make his local government educationally advanced.”
The event was attended by the Dala APC chairman, Munir Haruna, party elders, former chairmen and councilors, former chairmanship and councillorship candidates in the local government, among others.
