The Adamawa State Government has granted automatic employment to 60 engineering graduates who completed their studies in India under the state's foreign scholarship scheme.

The beneficiaries, who have also completed their one-year national service, expressed gratitude to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for the opportunity.

The Governor has reaffirmed his administration's dedication to sustaining the scholarship program for future beneficiaries.

Preparations are underway to send another batch of students to China for advanced studies under the state's next scholarship phase.
