UK-Based Nigerian Scholarship Beneficiary Launches Foundation In Sokoto

A Sokoto state born and now living in the United Kingdom, Anas Muhammad Sani has launched a foundation focusing on Female Child Education tagged “Catch Them Young”; Sponsorship and scholarship.

Anas who says the initiative was because of his decision to give back to the society after he was given 100% scholarship for his Masters degree in the UK by House of Representatives member representing Kebbe/Tambuwal, Hon. Abdussamad Dasuki.

“Two years ago, the legislator representing my constituency, Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdussamad Dasuki [Santurakin Sokoto] sponsored me 100% to study my MSc at the prestigious University of Westminster in the Central London. That was a historic patriotic move that was unprecedented in the region I come from.

Since then, my primary objective has been to find a way to give back to the community that has been electing the selfless leader who shaped my life career to represent them in the Federal House of Representatives.”

At the launching of the foundation, the Anas Dukura Foundation considered 10 girls from the community’s primary school for the “catch them young” sponsorship; they all got new set of uniforms, exercise and text books, and monthly allowance to take care of their other needs to avoid their parents from sending them for hawking.

“In our community right now no single girl in primary 5 and 6 and we have very few in the other classes this is why we picked those in primary 4 and 3, we will provide everything for their studies.
The foundation is also giving scholarship to 9 higher institution students from the community where six will be giving 50% tuition fee with 30,000 scholarship every year.

“All students of tertiary institutions from my community, Dukura [in Kebbe local government of Sokoto state], would be getting a reasonable financial grant annually starting this year.
Students of institutions (not covered by government’s sponsorship) especially nursing and other health—related courses would be assisted with at least 50% tuition.

Aside the western Education the foundation aimed at establishing a weekly special Quranic classes for kids aged 10 years and below under the tutelage of a sponsored professional instructor.
