ASUU offers scholarship to indigent BUK students
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has awarded scholarships to two brilliant indigent students of the Bayero University, Kano under its annual ASUU Scholarship Scheme.
This is contained in a statement by the acting Chairperson of ASUU-BUK, Dr Sagir Saleh in Kano.
According to the statement, the award was presented to the beneficiaries by Mr Saleh on behalf of the ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodoke, on Thursday in Kano.
Mr Osodoke said that the aim of the scheme was to support the education of brilliant students who came from a humble background across the branches of the union.
Each of the awardees, who were selected following a meticulous screening, received N200,000.
According to him, the gesture will go a long way in assuaging the financial burden on the students.
The beneficiaries thanked the union for its kind gesture and promised to make judicious use of the money for the purpose intended.
