In a bid to improve access to quality education and ease transportation challenges, Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, has launched the distribution of bicycles, uniforms, books, and other learning materials to 30,000 pupils across the state.
The beneficiaries, selected from different communities in the 27 local government areas, are part of the Danmodi Student Care program under the office of the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Student Affairs.
The program aims to identify and assist orphans, dropout, and vulnerable young girls and boys.
