The Kano State Anti-corruption and Public Complaints Commission has commenced investigation into an alleged foreign scholarship fraud worth N1.5 billion.
The Commission is questioning two top officials of the state Ministry of Higher Education regarding the issue of 1,001 students supposedly studying in India and Kenya.
The State Government is sponsoring 1,001 postgraduate students to pursue their master’s degrees in India and Uganda.
The initiative is part of the government’s foreign scholarship scheme which was inaugurated by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Yusuf had recently hosted a farewell dinner for the first batch of 550 beneficiaries of the scholarship at the Government House, commending former Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso for introducing the scheme.
DAILY POST gathered that only 418 students were actually sent abroad for studies, raising questions about the whereabouts of the remaining students.
When contacted, the Commission’s Public Relations Officer, Kabiru A. Kabiru, confirmed the report, saying the two top officials were interrogated over the alleged scholarship scam.
“We have commenced an intensive investigation to find out the truth of matter and whoever is found to have been involved, would be prosecuted, no matter his position,” Kabiru warned.
