Few days after 100 girls from Borno State were offered slots for admission into an all female University in Sudan, Governor Kashim Shettima has sealed partnership with the management of a 50-year old International University of Africa located in Khartoum, Sudan, for admission of another set of 100 sons and daughters of Borno State to pursue different Degree programs in medicine, engineering, computer sciences and other humanities.

Spokesman, Isa Gusau, said in a statement emailed on Tuesday that before leaving Sudan on Sunday night after his 4 days visit, Governor Shettima met the management of the University at the school’s premises in Khartoum, during which the school finalized 100 slots for students in Borno State under an agreement that a discounted sum of 2,400 dollars is to be paid on each of the student as annual tuition fee by the Borno State Government. The amount was reduced from 6,000 dollars per annum, as part of understanding reached between Shettima and the institution.
