Vladimir Putin, the longtime president of the Russian Federation, has reportedly allocated a 600 million ruble budget to build a new school in Dagestan named after Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The news was first revealed by Nurmagomedov’s father, Abdulmanap, during an interview with the Teacher’s Newspaper. According to Abdulmanap, the project took shape after his son asked the president to increase the funding for education within Dagestan.
“Khabib recently contacted [Putin] by phone, and following this appeal, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin signed a decree allocating about 600 million rubles to the Republic of Dagestan to open a school named after Khabib Nurmagomedov.
