Friday, April 4, 2025 - The Government of Adamawa State has offered automatic employment to 60 graduate engineers.
The fresh graduates had earlier been sponsored by the
government for the engineering training in India.
They are to get the job after their one-year mandatory
national service under the NYSC scheme.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri announced the offer in Yola when the
young engineers paid him a thank-you visit for the scholarship opportunity that
enabled them the foreign engineering training.
The commissioner for Education and Human Capital
Development, Dr Umar Umar Garba Pella, who briefed newsmen on the event,
recalled that the scholarship scheme was introduced in 2020 to support the
Adamawa indigenes on the five-year engineering programme.
He added that Governor Fintiri, impressed with the students’
performance, said his administration would sustain the program so that more
Adamawa indigenes can benefit.
He said the State Government is making preparations to send
another batch of students, this time to study in China under its next
scholarship program.
One of the young engineers, Tahir Iju Sama’ila who spoke for
his colleagues, thanked Fintiri and his cabinet for the opportunity to study
abroad and for the job offer.
He said they were impressed that while some other states
abandoned their students, Adamawa had shown commitment to the wellbeing of its
students.
