The induction ceremony was held at the Multi-Purpose Hall of the College of Medical Sciences, University of Jos Teaching Hospital (JUTH), Lamingo.
The scholarship scheme, introduced by Hon. Dachung Bagos, is a fully funded educational support program covering students from their first year until graduation. It has provided opportunities for many young people in secondary, tertiary, and postgraduate studies.
In its second cohort of medical inductees, the scholarship scheme celebrated Esther Atong (MLS), Ibrahim Mamman Pate (MLS), Hannatu Agwom (MLS), and Nyam Choji (MLS). Several other beneficiaries are also expected to complete their studies and graduate in the coming academic session.

In their joint statement, the new Medical Laboratory Scientists expressed deep appreciation to Hon. Bagos for the life-changing opportunity. They described the scholarship as a rare intervention that has given them a future filled with possibilities.
The beneficiaries also noted that the program reflects Bagos’ passion for empowering the next generation, even beyond his tenure in office, proving that true leadership extends into service to humanity.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dafwam Yakubu Danja, Hon. Dachung Bagos reaffirmed his commitment to supporting education, stressing that investing in young people is the surest way to build a stronger society and a better Nigeria.
