Kano’s Foreign Scholarship: A Lifeline for Infertility, A Blessing to the Entire North

By Bala Salihu Dawakin kudu.
Northern Bureau Chief

KANO – The Kano State Government’s foreign scholarship program is beginning to yield transformative results, particularly in the healthcare sector, as more beneficiaries return home equipped with specialized skills that promise to change lives across the northern region.

Among the 1001 students sponsored abroad, a notable group of 54 recently returned graduates from India stood out for their academic excellence in healthcare-related fields. Most remarkable are the seven students who specialized in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), a medical technique focused on combating infertility—a challenge that has long plagued many families in the North.

The students underwent advanced training in Embryology at Symbiosis International University, India. Upon their return, they brought with them the knowledge and tools needed to introduce ART to Kano, a state where such services have never before existed.

According to state officials, the initiative is being strategically implemented under the leadership of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The trained professionals are to be deployed to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Muhammadu Abdullahi Wase Teaching Hospital (MAWTH), where preparations are already underway to launch ART services.

Dr. Mansur Mudi Nagoda, Executive Secretary of the Kano Hospitals Management Board, is spearheading efforts to ensure that the facilities, equipment, and medications required for ART are put in place. Recent meetings between the returning scholars and hospital management have focused on identifying resource gaps and designing a roadmap for implementation.

Experts say this is not just a win for Kano, but a breakthrough for the entire northern region, where infertility often goes untreated due to lack of access to advanced reproductive care.

“What makes this initiative even more impactful is the state government’s commitment to funding the procedure,” a source revealed. “Assisted Reproductive Technology, which typically costs over three million naira (N3,000,000), will be offered free of charge under the directive of Governor Yusuf, just like the existing free maternal and postnatal care in the state.”

This aligns with the administration’s broader mission to reduce maternal morbidity and improve public health outcomes. With ART in place, many couples previously without hope may now have a chance to start families.

Moreover, the training of these professionals is expected to trigger a ripple effect—sharing of knowledge and capacity building within other hospitals and medical institutions across northern Nigeria.

As Kano takes this historic step, the foreign scholarship program proves to be more than just an educational investment—it is a lifeline for communities and a testament to the state’s dedication to human development.

Indeed, the Kano Foreign Scholarship is not just a blessing for Kano, but for the entire North.
