The sponsorship of the students was in line with the present  administration's determination to ensure that all heath facilities have  qualified Manpower.

The State's Commissioner for Health Dr Abba  Zakar Umar who conveyed the students to China said the decision to  sponsor the students was borne out of the state government's commitment  to ensure adequate provision of medical doctors to its heath facilities.
