Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has announced full sponsorship for Jacob Ndam, a student of Government Model Secondary School, Shendam, a school dropout who performed exceptionally in the E-Debate competition organized by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

Ndam had previously dropped out of school due to financial constraints but was brought back to participate in the national contest and the scholarship is for him to further his education at the University level.

Receiving the winners of the E-Debate and Bible Recitation competitions, where trophies won by the Plateau State students at the National Engineering Competition organized by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), were presented to the Governor at the Old Government House, Rayfield, Jos, the Governor urged students across the State to avoid all forms of social vices and remain dedicated to their studies as a pathway to achieving greatness.

He said: “Congratulations! You have made us proud. We are honoured to have you as our children and Plateau students. Even if your parents are not originally from Plateau, we now consider you one of us. You are entitled to every privilege accorded to Plateau indigenes.

“We deeply appreciate your diligence and dedication to your studies, which has brought you this far. I am particularly glad for the efforts of Gindiri. It is time to revive such intellectually stimulating competitions across secondary schools, including debates and quizzes. Let us find creative ways to fully engage our youths.”

Governor Mutfwang emphasized the need for students to grow in wisdom, use social media responsibly, and engage in productive activities that will guarantee a prosperous future and disclosed plans to introduce strategies aimed at prioritizing youth engagement and development in the State.

The Commissioner for Secondary Education, Mohammed Nyalun, led the contingent of students for the competition. The Bible Recitation competition was won by students of Girls High School, Gindiri, while the National Engineering Competition trophy was claimed by students of Tamaral Fair View School, Jos. The National E-Debate Competition featured a winning team comprising students from Government Model Secondary School, Shendam, and Saint Augustine College, Du.
