“The registration fees of the beneficiaries were bankrolled by the philanthropist.

"We will continue to sustain these gestures until they finish their studies.

“This is in addition to hundreds of students sponsored under this foundation in the various tertiary institutions across the country.

“All the 13 beneficiaries were drawned from the less privileged families, who could not pay their school fees due to the economic challenges.

“The beneficiaries are undergoing studies in various courses at the Federal University and Federal College of Education, (Technical) in Gusau.

“Others benefiting students are from College of Health Sciences and Technology, Tsafe and Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata-Mafara,’’ Bala Turaki said.

Also speaking at the event, the former Chairman, Zamfara Radio and Television Services, Alhaji Sa’idu Maishanu, commended Bala Turaki and officials of the foundation for their support to the beneficiaries.

Maishanu urged political office holders in the state to emulate the philanthropist in supporting the needy.
