Stranded 42 Ebonyi State Phd Sponsored Students Protests At BBC HQ In Manchester by Stone123(m): 5:46pm On May 24, 2016
These are Ebonyi State students currently stranded in the UK following the refusal of their state governor Engr. Dave Umahi to pay their 2015/2016 tuition fees and stipends. They have demonstrated at the BBC headquarters in Manchester in the United Kingdom all in the effort to get their state government to come to their rescue.
Its unfortunate for some state governments in Nigeria to send their citizens abroad and abandon them to live like slaves.

Their state governor should do the needful and act swiftly to avoid tarnishing the image of Nigeria abroad which the current administration is trying to rebuild. I wonder what will become of Nigerians that may seek sponsorships from Nigerian government in future. Unfortunately there are indications that foreign countries will soon stop accepting award letters from Nigeria but will only require you to pay up all your fees before issuance of student visa owing this trend.

Scholarships from state government or even the president at this time can't be trusted,

if you don't wanna be stranded kukuma reject the scholarship there and then, accept financial assistance then go look for a university and enroll.

Our leaders don't care about the aftermath of their promise, especially if you are not their kid or relation, they just promise you the scholarship so they can get the immediate glory and off they go!

At this point it's not too late to come back and school in Uniport, economy is bad and 3 tomatoes go for 300naira #sorry kiss

these govts are so insensitive. I think there should be a legislation to force govts who sponsor students abroad to pay. the benefactors' family members can sue on their behalf in the country.

The Governor should look into their plight as the state ranks lowest in the South east in terms of human capital development.

I don't think that tomato price have got anything to do with this!

The program was initiated by the former governor(Elechi) I guess umahi political fall-out with Elechi is the main reason why he's refusing to fund it.

These guys must really be suffering... can't imagine what they will be going through. And UK no well at all... before they say kpekem, they will just meet themselves in MMA Lagos.



I'm sure some people would have given anything to be in their shoes when they were awarded that scholarship.
God please continue to give me the Grace and Patience to wait for my time.
