Katsina LG Awards Scholarships to 96 Students, Reaffirms Commitment to Quality Education

In a renewed effort to promote access to quality education, the Katsina Local Government has awarded academic scholarships to 96 deserving students, reinforcing its commitment to youth empowerment through education.

The scholarship certificates were officially presented in a modest but impactful ceremony attended by local officials, community leaders, and beneficiaries.

The recipients, a mix of male and female students, were recognized for their academic potential and eligibility under the local government’s scholarship scheme.

Speaking during the event, a representative of the Katsina LG authority emphasized that education remains the cornerstone of development and a key priority of the administration’s social investment drive. He noted that the scholarships are aimed at easing the financial burden on families and ensuring that no promising student is left behind due to economic hardship.

Photos shared by Channels Television showed local government officials personally handing out the scholarship letters to individual beneficiaries, symbolizing not just support, but also personal encouragement to the young scholars.

Though specific details of the scholarship—such as the level of study, duration, or institution—were not publicly disclosed in the broadcast, the gesture has been widely welcomed by community stakeholders as a timely intervention in a region where education funding is often limited.

The move aligns with broader state-led efforts across Katsina to improve education infrastructure, provide teacher training, and deliver inclusive support for youth across all levels of learning.

The Katsina LG has pledged to continue such initiatives, with promises of more educational interventions in the coming months.
