Speaking to the news medium, Fagam, who is from Fagam town in Gwaram local government, said after his meeting with the governor of the state, Badaru Abubakar, in 2018, the promise of sending him to Indi to study, is yet to be fulfilled, four years after.
He said:
“Since that promise was made, I haven’t heard anything from the state government."
The result of the failed promise and present challenges
Fagam said since the government's promise to sponsor him abroad was not forthcoming, he applied and gained admission to study medicine and surgery at the Federal University Dutse.
He, however, noted that his studies have been very challenging due to his poor family background, adding that he lacks the basic learning materials that would ease his studies.
Fagam pleaded:
“Since the hope of studying abroad is dashed, I’m appealing to the state government to support my education, because I’m suffering, and my parents are poor.”
