From Ibrahim Sidi Muh’d, Gusau
Parents of Zamfara state students studying in Cyprus on government scholarship have pleaded with Governor Dauda Lawal to save the lives of the 88 students without further delay.
The Chairman, Cyprus Students’ Pärent’s Association in Zamfara state, Ambassador Ibrahim Tudu made the plea in a press conference in Gusau, the Zamfara state capital.
Ambassador Ibrahim said the press conference became necessary as they have shown their concern on the condition of their children sent on scholarship.
He cried that, the students have spent more than 4 years now in Cyprus and some are about to complete their studies while some should have finished last year, but due to the lost of semesters arising from the alleged non-payment of school fees by the government, they could not finish the programme yet.
“The 88 students are facing numerous problems that are related to lack of feeding, accommodation, upkeep allowances, their safety, studies and serious state of mental health”, he lamented.
