Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Dr Mohammed Bello Janbako, an Islamic cleric, has urged the Zamfara State Government to consider the possibility of paying NECO and WAEC fees for indigent students of the state.<\/p>\n

The cleric made the call during the closure of this year\u2019s Ramadan Tafsir at Imam Malik Jumuat Mosque in Damba district of Gusau, the state capital.<\/p>\n

The cleric, who noted that Zamfara could not fill its quota in the country\u2019s tertiary institutions, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am calling on the state government to, as a matter of fact, and urgency, settle the NECO and WAEC fees that have not been paid over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students have been stranded as they cannot proceed to higher institutions because of the none payment of NECO and WAEC fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has posed a serious problem to the society because those students who could not further their education would in the near future become serious threats to the society.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cleric also urged politicians and wealthy individuals in the state to always come to the rescue of the needy, particularly youths.<\/p>\n
