Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State yesterday took custody of a six-year-old physically challenged boy, Samaila Dantani, and promised to sponsor his education from primary to tertiary institution.
Al-Makura made the promise when he sighted the boy during an inspection of flood-prone areas along Jos road in Lafia.
Al-Makura said he would
take full custody of the boy, who is from Ashangwa and presently taking refuge in Akurba area of Lafia because of the communal crisis that displaced his family a year ago. The governor, who also donated a tricycle to Ismaila, said that the boy would be well catered for and given an opportunity to achieve his potentialities in life despite his physical challenge. Shedding more light on the development, the special assistant to governor Al-Makura on media and publicity, Ahmed Tukur, said that the governor was moved by the plight of the little boy and decided to sponsor his education and keep him under his custody.
