Bauchi State Scholarship Board Faces Funding Crisis, Program at Risk of Collapse

The Bauchi State Scholarship Board has issued a press release announcing that the state's scholarship program is on the verge of collapse due to severe funding constraints and the current economic crisis.

Despite efforts to engage with the state government, led by Governor Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, the board has been met with silence, prompting them to make the situation public. The global economic downturn has already caused delays in payments for the 2022/2023 academic year, which were only recently completed.

Unfortunately, due to ongoing financial constraints, the board has announced that there are no adequate funds available to support scholarships for the 2023/2024 academic year. This decision is expected to have a devastating impact on students in Bauchi State.

The board is taking immediate action to address the crisis and explore alternative funding options.
