The M-Tech Foundation, founded by Mansur Musa Jega, the managing director of M-Tech Global Concepts Limited and a philanthropist, has disbursed funds to sponsor orphans and vulnerable children in Kebbi State.
The beneficiaries were drawn from across the 21 local government areas of the state. They got admission at various higher institutions and universities in the state and country but could not afford to pay registration and accommodation fees.
At the flag-off ceremony for the disbursement of the funds, held yesterday at the Waziri Umaru Federal Polytechnic Birnin Kebbi, Governor Nasir Idris commended the MD M-Tech’s gesture and urged other well-to-do people to emulate him.
The governor, represented by his deputy, Senator Abubakar Umar Tafida, charged the beneficiaries to use the funds for the purposes they were meant.
The founder of the foundation, Mannir Musa Jega, said the selection of beneficiaries was based on merit.
He promised to sustain the gesture to another crop of vulnerable groups of children.
