A Governorship aspirant in the 2019 general election in Zamfara State, Dr Dauda Lawal Dare has sponsored 120 less privilege students to study outside the country.
He has also constructed 5 hand pumps and donated it to some communities in the State.
The students would study at University Togo to advance their academic careers in sciences, computer engineering, medicine, public health and other social sciences related courses.
According to Dare, the decision to sponsor these categories of less privileged children is to make them feel happy and encourage them to acquire more knowledge and become more useful to the community.
The gesture was made under the auspices of his foundation “Dauda Lawal Dare Foundation”.
In an address at the ceremony, the Campaign Director of Dauda Lawal, Eng. Garba Ahmad Yandi expressed joy with the massive turn out of the people, pointing out that it was an indication of support to the programme.
He said Dr Dare and former Governor Abdulazeez Yari have common principles of good mind-set of restoring lost glory of Zamfara state.
“They have innovations that would transform the lives of people of the state” he said.
He assured that the scholarship initiative is unique, explaining that the philanthropist has already mapped out plans to ensure that all the needed bursaries and entitlements are paid to both the university management and the students.
