Abdullahi Tanko Umaru Memorial Scholarship Fund 2024

WHAT IS THIS SCHOLARSHIP ABOUT

The Abdullahi Tanko Umaru Memorial Scholarship Fund is a tribute to the memory of my teacher and undergraduate supervisor, Mallam Abdullahi Tanko Umaru, Mallam Tanko was born on March 21, 1975. He passed away on January 30, 2022, at the age of 46. He was a Lecturer at the Department of Political Science and International Studies at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria at the time of his tragic death. A dedicated teacher, innovative thinker and generous friend, Mallam Tanko will be remembered for inculcating the ethics of discipline and academic rigor in his students. His enthusiasm for research and teaching was infectious and motivated everyone around him to want to learn more. In honour of his memory, I am sponsoring the Abdullahi Tanko Umaru Memorial Scholarship Fund worth #100,000 to support indigent students who embody Mallam Tanko’s legacy.
