Bauchi Sends 15 Students to Train in Czech Republic, As Gov. Abubakar's Czech Visit Yield Fruits
In line with drive to grow the human capacity of the state, the Gov. M. A. Abubakar led administration have offered 15 post graduate students, drawn across the state, scholarships to train in the Czech Republic. The students will majorly be studying modern agricultural methods and techniques and will leave for the Czech Republic tomorrow. On completion of their studies, they will join the budding Department of Agriculture in Bauchi State University, Gadau to contribute their quota to state building.
Receiving them today at Government House, Gov. Abubakar said this was one of the fruits from his visit to Czech Republic last year. He said an MoU was signed with the Czech authorities to improve the state in areas of man-power training, agriculture and tourism. He urged the students to work hard and give back to the state. He also stated that their allowances and tuition have been paid. Gov. Abubakar said that despite meagre state resources, the state had sacrificed to train them. He promised his administration's support to them to further to higher levels if they do well, stating that the state is ready to play its part.
The beneficiaries of the scholarship are expected to boost the State owned University, and are critical in the drive towards agricultural rejuvenation in the state. Part of the agreement is that beneficiaries will serve a minimum of 4 years after studies at the Bauchi State University, Gadau.
