He noted that he was amazed by Sani’s brilliance to design the flyover for the China Geo-Engineering Company (CGC) to complete the project.
Zulum met the child’s family and offered to approve an N5 million scholarship to complete his secondary education and harness his talents.
Musa was born into a less privileged family living in the Gwange community of the state.
He, therefore, directed the Borno State Education Trust Fund (ETF) to fund Musa’s education.
ETF Chairperson, Prof. Hauwa Biu, presented cheques of Five Million and Twenty Nine Thousand Naira (N5,029,000) and paid into a private school, which Musa is currently attending.
