The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has commended Governor Abdullahi Sule for approving the disbursement of bursary allowances to students studying at various tertiary institutions in the country for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The chairman of the House Committee on Education, Science and Technology, Abel Bala, commended the State Scholarship Board on Monday when its management appeared before the committee in Lafia to present its budget performance for the second quarter of 2026.
