Former lawmaker pledges support for 3 Premier Academy graduands 

Former Senator from Niger East Senatorial District,  Senator David Umaru, has assured of continued support for three 2022 graduands of Premier Academy, Abuja , who were sponsored for common entrance examination in 2016 under his Underprivileged Gifted Pupils Education Initiative and later secured  Shell Company scholarship as best in the examination from Niger state.

Umaru gave this assurance weekend in Minna while receiving the students on a thank you visit accompanied by their parents. 

He said, “I am very impressed with your academic performance and character development as you graduate from secondary school level.  I am happy that you did not allow your circumstances and family background to affect your studies. You have done us proud with your brilliant performance in WAEC and JAMB results. Therefore I want to assure you that we will not abandon you but take you to the next level.”

The former lawmaker said the students, namely, Alheri Usman, Jonathan James and Luka Jonah, worked very hard to succeed in their secondary education despite being laughed an mocked at by other students as villagers.
