A National Assembly member representing Doma, Keana, Awe Federal Constituency, Abubakar Hassan Nalaraba, at the weekend, has spent N100 Million worth of scholarship awards to one thousand (1,000) students across 13 LGAs of Nasarawa State.

He said that before the symbolic presentation of cheques to the beneficiaries, they had already received N100,000 each, which makes the total disbursement N100 Million.
