    According to them, the former governor covered all transfer and tuition fees and ensured they could complete their medical training without financial burden.

    In a public letter addressed to the former governor, the students stated, “When we faced the unfortunate challenge of losing accreditation at our former institution, your divine emergence as Governor, swift intervention and the decision to transfer us to other medical schools were not just acts of leadership but of compassion and commitment to the future of Kogi State’s healthcare sector.

    “The efforts of your administration in ensuring that we were successfully transferred to institutions where we could complete our medical training is a testament to your dedication to education and the well-being of your citizens.”

    One of the graduates, Dr. Omeiza Abdulmaleek Usman, shared his gratitude, acknowledging the former governor’s unwavering commitment to their education.

    The new medical doctors said Bello’s philanthropic gesture had inspired a strong desire in them to give back to Kogi State and beyond.

    In private messages on social media, the brand new doctors said their professors kept saying “Yahaya Bello will be proud of you”.

    One of them, Dr. Onimisi Benedict Simpa, won 11 out of the 20 prizes for the faculty at the Kaduna State University, emerging the overall best graduating student.

Dr. Olugbemiro Peters also graduated with a Distinction in Surgery from the same university, among others.
