Gaidam offers jobs to 38 final year students

Governor Ibrahim Gaidam of Yobe State who is currently on a visit to Sudan, has offered automatic employment to 38 Yobe students who will be graduating from various Sudanese universities later in the year.

Thirty-one of the senior students will earn medical degrees, while the rest will bag nursing, dentistry, business administration, and communication degrees, amongst others.

The governor made the offer Wednesday while addressing a cross-section of Yobe students who honoured him in a ceremony at the International University of Africa in Khartoum, according to a statement mailed to Daily Trust by the governor’s spokesman, Abdullahi Bego, who said Governor Gaidam recalled that thousands of Yobe students were currently being sponsored by the administration for graduate and post-graduate degrees in various universities within and outside Nigeria.

“It is heart-warming that all of you who study here in Sudan have remained law-abiding and have not been found to be engaging in any illegal or criminal acts. I urge you to continue to tread this path,” Gaidam said.

He asked the Head of Service, Alhaji Saleh Abubakar, to give the necessary impetus to his pledge of jobs to the graduating students by coordinating and implementing the recruitment process.

President of the Yobe Students’ Association in Sudan ( YOSSAS) Idris Muhammad Saleh thanked the governor for being not just the leader of their state but a father also.
