Musa was born into a less privileged family living around Gwange area in Maiduguri.

He was a primary three pupil at a Community school
in Gwange.

Musa recently caught Zulum’s attention when he used mud to design of a flyover that was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari in Maiduguri, back in December.

Governor Zulum was amazed by the kid’s brilliance. He met his family and offered to approve scholarship for him, to harness his talents.

The Governor directed the Borno State Education Trust Fund (ETF) to fund the boy’s education.

Chairperson of ETF Prof. Hauwa Biu, presented a cheque of Five Million and Twenty Nine Thousand Naira (N5,029,000), with the fund already paid to a private school at which Musa is now schooling.

Prof Biu thanked Governor Zulum for the offer and urged the boy to focus on his studies and make the Governor proud.

  1. The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not fail me just as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read through, but I truly believed youd have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could possibly fix if you werent too busy seeking attention.
