The institutions approved for the students include, International Islamic University Chithangang, Bangladesh, International Islamic University, Khartoum, in Republic of Sudan and Abdou Moumouni University, Niamey, in Niger Republic, whose students and faculty have historically been involved in protest movements in the Niger capital.
Many prominent proponents of Islamisation of Nigeria such as the current Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and the bringer of Sharia law in Nigeria, Senator Sani Yerima, underwent such training in Sudan.
Speaking at the farewell ceremony held at Government House in Sokoto, yesterday, the state governor, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko, described the students as good ambassadors of the state and urged them to maintain their religious and cultural norms while abroad.
His words: “Under no circumstances should you allow foreign images to influence you negatively. Your focal points should at all times centre primarily on excelling in learning and conduct,” he said.
The governor said N246.17million was expended for the overseas training of students. He added that the amount covered their tuition fees, accommodation and feedings as well as allowances.
The governor added: “The state’s manpower building strategies are uniquely geared towards providing a meaningful local government spread, peculiarly intended at attracting fair representations by our dynamic education driven young women.
“Majority of them are in healthcare services sector of the economy and this is to ensure that upon graduation, they will provide the much needed skillfully trained minds that would adequately man primary sectors of paramedical services in that state’s established primary medical institutions.” Wamakko explained.
Earlier, Executive Chairman, Sokoto State Scholarship Board, Abdulkadir Kalgo had said that the beneficiaries were selected based on SSCE, NECO and NABTEB results.
