The government of Bauchi state, a couple of days ago awarded scholarship to some 113 students studying medicine within its state to continue their studies in foreign universities. The particular joy of Advocates of National Unity is that the award was given to all qualified medical students of the state, without consideration for their place of origin. In other words, it was open to all qualified Nigerians in bauchi state, rather than Bauchi indigines alone. That was a victory for national unity Other states should take cue from this nationaliistic gesture instead of being sectional in the award of benefits. Long live Nigeria.
