The Italian Ambassador to Mogadishu, Pier Mario Daccò Coppi, together with all his collaborators, received the young winners of the MAECI scholarships for the academic year 2024-2025.
The twenty-one young Somalis – 16 boys and 5 girls – who were awarded the scholarships will be able to study in several Italian universities: Tuscia, Florence, Milan, Genoa, Bologna, Trieste, Naples, Turin, Parma and Pavia. The largest number of scholarships are for engineering and economics courses; other preferred agricultural disciplines, law, biotechnology and geophysics.
The President of the Social Commission of the Senate of Somalia and the Rectors of the five Somali Universities from which the students come attended the ceremony.
The Ambassador wished them all good luck. Hambaliyo!
