Yobe state governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, has offered automatic employment to 38 Yobe students who will be graduating from the various universities in Khartoum, Sudan later in 2018.
This was contained in a press release made available by the Director-General on Press Affairs to the Governor, Abdullahi Bego.
He said, of the 38 graduating students, 27 of them will earn medical degrees while the rest will graduate from various specialties, including Nursing, Dentistry, Business Administration, and Communication, amongst others.
Our correspondent also gathered that, thousands of Yobe students are currently being sponsored by the Gaidam administration for graduate and post-graduate degrees in various universities within and outside Nigeria.
The governor noted with satisfaction that, Yobe students in Sudan have remained law-abiding in their host country and have continued to pursue their academic careers with vigour.
“It is heart-warming that all of you who study here in Sudan have remained law-abiding and have not been found to be engaging in any illegal or criminal acts. I urge you to continue to tread this path. I urge you to continue to take your studies seriously and to do your parents and our state proud,” he said.
The governor asked the Head of Service, Alhaji Saleh Abubakar, who was present at the event, to coordinate and implement the recruitment of the graduating students.
President of the Yobe Students Association in Sudan (YOSSAS), Idriss Muhammad Saleh, thanked the governor for being not just the leader of their state but a father, saying all of them were hugely proud of the work that the governor is doing in moving the state forward.
