Minna Orphanage Produces 2 Undergraduates

The Officer- in-Charge of Minna Orphanage, Hajiya Ladidi Mohammed, on Wednesday said the home had produced two undergraduates in two institutions of higher learning.

Mohammed told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna that, the orphans were currently studying in the state's College of Administrative and Business Studies, Bida and College of Education, Minna.

She said that the students, Haruna Abdullahi, 30 and Useni Abdullahi, 28, who were in their second and first year respectively, were being sponsored by the Niger Government.

Mohammed said the home catered for a total of 21 orphans including the two students.

According to her, 15 of them are males while six are females.

She said that the orphans were mainly from broken homes, mentally-deranged women or lunatics, adding that the mode of adoption was based on legal procedure.

“We do not give orphans to single parents and that those we give to must be Nigerians,’’ she said.
