Zamfara State Government has urged the twenty- five prospective Nigerian Law School Students who are indigenes of the State to remain calm as efforts are being made by the governor Dauda Lawal-led administration to pay their 2023/ 2024 registration fees.
The Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology Wadatau Madawaki made the call while fielding questions from newsmen over the appeal by the prospective Zamfara Law School Students for the State Government’s Intervention in their tuition fees.
The 25 Indigenes of Zamfara State who are Prospective Students of the Nigerian Law School had in a Statement jointly signed recently by its forum chairman and Secretary Mubasshir Gusau and Mahmud Sani-Kaura appealed for urgent intervention of Governor Dauda Lawal to pay their registration fees for the 2023/2024 Law School Registration.
The Students in the statement cried out that, more than 90 percent of the State indigenes who studied law, graduated from various universities and secured admission to the Nigerian Law School can not afford to pay the registration fees due to the increase in the tuition fees, and the financial difficulties occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy.
The State Commissioner For Education, Science, and Technology, Wadatau Madawaki called on the students to be calm as the State government had heard their cries and is making frantic efforts to pay their registration fees in line with the Dauda Lawal’s administration’s determination to provide quality education for youths in the State.
He emphasized that the Zamfara State Ministry of Education planned to assist all students that are on Scholarship, including the law school students to enable them to pursue their education with ease and complete their studies.
Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal’s declaration of a State of emergency on education with a view to repositioning, and revamping the sector to provide quality education for children in the State was a demonstration that education is top on his priority list.
