Those who studied medicine and nursing and were abandoned abroad by the previous administration are beneficiaries.
Saturday’s press statement by Kaduna State Scholarship and Loans Board Executive Secretary Professor Yahya Saleh Ibrahim revealed the payment.
The Executive Secretary added that stranded students were ?unable to graduate, renew visas or access their academic records.?
The statement stated that Debrecen University UK/Hungary received $51,400.00, or N84,810,000.00, for tuition.
The statement said the Dubai-based University of Wollongong received $13,827.08, or N22,814,550.00.
The statement said Medical University Havana received $164,010.00, or N270, 616, 500.00, and KIU IUIU Uganda received $17, 998.00, or N29,696,700.00.
Ibrahim said the Governor’s action is “in line with his administration’s commitment to human capital development and expanding access to education for indigent students.”
?Governor Uba Sani has also cleared the foreign tuition fees of state-sponsored students from 2023 to date,? the Executive Secretary said.
The statement stated that Governor Uba Sani has ordered the Kaduna State Scholarship and Loans Board to communicate with foreign universities where Kaduna State students are studying to verify their tuition fee payments.
Prof. Ibrahim stated that the directive was given to settle any payment not in the Scholarship Board Master List.
?The Governor is determined to put in place a robust process that will end the hardship being experienced in foreign universities by Kaduna State students,? he said.
He noted that the Governor’s quick intervention shows his commitment to human capital development and empowering Kaduna State youth, especially the underprivileged, to lead in a fast-changing, technologically driven world.
The Executive Secretary said Governor Uba Sani wants no student to be left behind due to finances.
