Member representing Darazo/Ganjuwa federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Mansur Soro, has offered scholarships to about 100 indigent and vulnerable children.

Our correspondent reports that the scholarship covers a complete secondary education for the beneficiaries. They would be admitted into the Gifted Secondary Schools in Darazo, Soro, Kafin- Madaki and Sade.

The lawmaker disclosed this in a statement signed by his New Media aide, Aliyu Darazo and made available to reporters in Bauchi yesterday.

“Successful candidates are therefore advised to pick up their admission letters tomorrow, Friday, 4th October 2024 and report to the Gifted Secondary School they are admitted to on Monday, 7th October 2024, for registration.

“Established in 2021, the 4 Gifted Secondary Schools are funded by the member representing Darazo/Ganjuwa federal constituency, Mansur Manu Soro, alongside Special Primary School, Lanzai (a border town between Bauchi and Yobe states) for the IDPs children.

“The tuition free schools provide complete school kits (comprising of uniform, shoes, books and bag) for free to all admitted students.

“The schools also provide them with pocket money (periodically) and free WAEC/NECO registration,” the statement reads in part.

He promised to ensure that his foundation complemented efforts of the government to promote quality, standard, effective and efficient service delivery in the education sector
