The National Union of Borno State Students, National Headquarters, is pleased to announce that the Borno State Government has approved the payment of the Local Scholarship Scheme for eligible students.

This development is a significant milestone for indigenous students of Borno State studying in various tertiary institutions across Nigeria. As a result, all students are directed to visit their respective institutions and report to the offices of their Local Chapter Presidents for the verification and reconfirmation of their records.

To ensure accuracy and facilitate a smooth disbursement process, students are advised to carefully review and validate all information submitted for the scholarship exercise. This includes their full name, surname and other names, bank information, and other relevant scholarship records.

The verification exercise is necessary to ensure that all records are accurate and up-to-date. Students are therefore encouraged to cooperate fully and complete the exercise promptly.

Furthermore, beneficiaries can expect the commencement of scholarship payments within the next ten days, subject to the completion of all necessary administrative processes.

The National Headquarters of the National Union of Borno State Students wishes to express its profound appreciation to His Excellency, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, the Executive Governor of Borno State, for his unwavering commitment to education and student welfare.

The organization also commends the dedication and leadership of Engr. Lawan Abba Wakilbe, Honourable Commissioner for Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, as well as Mallam Bala Isa, Executive Secretary of the Borno State Scholarship Board, for their tireless efforts in ensuring the realization of this scholarship payment.

The National Union of Borno State Students equally congratulates and appreciates members of the National Executive Council, the Senate, Chapter Executives, and all stakeholders whose collective efforts and commitment contributed to the successful actualization of this important intervention for Borno State students.

The National Union of Borno State Students remains committed to protecting the interests of students and strengthening collaboration with government and relevant stakeholders in advancing educational development in Borno State.

Thank you.
