As part of his efforts to support education and provide succour to Bauchi State students in tertiary institutions, the Governorship Candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Dr. Yakubu Adamu, has launched a bursary programme worth ₦200 million.
The funds for the bursary programme are part of the millions of Naira donated to the candidate by friends and well-wishers in support of his campaign which he has personally redirected a portion of the campaign donations to fund the ₦200 million bursary programme.
The bursary programme is one of the many initiatives of our candidate aimed at empowering the people of Bauchi State, particularly the youth, in the areas of education, entrepreneurship, agriculture, technology, trade, artisanship, and other areas of human development.
Director General of the Campaign Organization, Hamza Koshe Akuyam while speaking to Journalists on Sunday, said, “We believe that one of the ways to support education and encourage our students to pursue their studies with all seriousness is by providing bursaries to ease their financial burden and enable them to meet the basic needs of their academic life.”
He added that,”This initiative complements the efforts of our government and our dear Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, CON (Kauran Daular Usmaniyya), who has been doing much to boost education and support students in Bauchi State through the Kaura ECONOMIC Empowerment Programme (KEEP) and the timely payment of scholarships to students across tertiary institutions.”
He called interested students of Bauchi State studying in tertiary institutions across the country to apply for the bursary programme through the website:

He stressed, “We remain committed to uplifting education and supporting our dear students of Bauchi State, wherever they are.”
