Boy Who Scored Highest In JAMB Meets Governor, See What He Got (Photo
Gov. Kashim Shettima on Tuesday honoured Galadima Isreal, the
Nigeria’s 2018 highest score JAMB candidate with full scholarship to
study Electrical Engineering at Covenant University in Ogun state.
Israel Galadima from Borno State came first in JAMB with a score of
364.
Impressed by Zakari’s performance, Gov. Shettima invited Zakari and
his mother, Jummai Galadima, where he honoured him with N5m full
scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Covenant University, Ota,
Ogun State under the Borno State Ministry of Higher Education.
At the council chambers of the Borno State Government House, the
Governor thanked them for honouring his invitation, reiterating how
proud of him he is.
“It is my honour of Meeting the JAMB King Galadima Israel, an
indigene of Borno who scored highest in the 2018 tertiary
matriculation examination in Nigeria.
“We are mightily proud of this young man, an orphan raised by a
single mother by coming first nationwide after scoring 364 in the 2018
JAMB examination. We must identify with our son of Boko Haram
ravaged Borno who defiled against all odds and became victorious”. he
said.
Shettima urged all to be generous and support one another devoid of
religious or tribal diffrences.
The Governor said since he will be completing his tenure in 2019, he
prefers to approve payment upfront in order to ensure that Isreal, who
made nine distinctions after taking this year’s West African
Examination Council’s (WAEC) papers, does not have to follow-up on
any tuition at the State scholarship board.
“Israel, as his mother has told us, was raised as an orphan. The
mother lost her husband who was a Major in the Nigerian Army about
14 years ago and she singlehandedly raised three children.
“Israel is the second of her children. She works in Lagos as a Banker,
we don’t have to make her travel all the way to Maiduguri again to
pursue any payment.
She has done her part by raising a child with excellence, and that child
has made Borno State very proud. It’s our turn to support him.
“I will suggest that the mother pays all the fees upfront to avoid any
tuition increase in future. I am particular about Israel because he was
raised as an orphan” Shettima said.
Earlier in her remarks, Mrs. Jummai Galadima, the mother, thanked
Governor Kashim Shettima for the support for her son.
