| Plight of Rivers State-sponsored students in teh UK exposed in a new video |
The plight of students being being sponsored by the Rivers State government to study in the United Kingdom has been exposed in a new video. The student complained that the Rotimi Amaechi-led former government of the state who sent them overseas to study practically abandoned. According to the students, they are currently being owed 9 months allowance. The most devastating is the fact the are facing expulsion from the school and their accommodation as the government is yet to remit their tuition fees to the universities.
The students recall that a few days ago, a ceremony was held in honour of the ex-Governor of Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi for the role he played towards the victory of Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential polls.
"Governor Lalong of Plateau State categorically stated that the ex-Governor shouldered eighty percent (80%) of the (financial) burden of the governing party and that their victory at the polls would have been impossible without his efforts. It is indeed very sad that while our ex-Governor was being benevolent, we were left to starve to death.
"While we thank the Government of Rivers State and the ex-Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi for this brilliant scholarship scheme, we must not fail to also state that this is not the right way to do things. It is wicked and borderline sadistic for anyone to treat his or her fellow human in this manner, particularly people who are indigent.
"We thank Governor Nyesom Wike for his recent efforts with regards to us. It has been extensively publicised that he has ordered the release of five hundred and twelve million naira to offset the debt of our colleagues that have just finished their final year (and graduated). This is a commendable move. We also wish to bring to our Governor’s attention the plight of the rest of us. Our situation requires urgent attention and action. As I write this, some of my colleagues have until Friday to pay up their school fees for past sessions or have their visas withdrawn and face deportation. Others are counting down to facing the same fate. This is a great embarrassment to the Government and people of Rivers State. It is a great embarrassment to our country. We call on our amiable Governor to do what he alone can do at this point and ameliorate our predicament."
