54 students of Borno State are currently on their way to achieving their life time dream following the state Governor Babagana Zulum, generous approval of a massive N12.9 billion scholarship to aide their careers in the skies.
The funds according to an aide of the governor will sponsor the 54 studies in Aeronautics, Engineering, and Pilot training at the Isaac Balami University of Aeronautics and Management. The program is said to kick off with basic pilot training for all, in addition to specialized tracks.
