BUK Students Threaten To Shut-Down Kano Over Bursary by blackwall(m): 8:54am On Aug 11, 2012
Bayero University students held a peaceful protest in Kano on Friday to demand the payment of their three years bursary from the state government.

The students took over some major streets in the metropolis as early as 9 am, carrying placards to express their displeasure over the unpaid bursary.

They threatened to scuttle the peace in Kano during the upcoming Eid-el-Fitri if the Rabiu Kwankwaso-led government failed to offset backlog of scholarship allowance due them.

Meanwhile, the state government dismissed their threat, saying that it had already voted about N400m to settle the unpaid bursary.

Speaking through the Director of Press and Public Relations, Mallam Halilu Dantiye, Kwankwaso assured them that the 60th executive council meeting had last Wednesday approved the total sum of N39.8m for the payment of the scholarship allowances through the Ministry of Higher Education.

However, he appealed to the students to refrain from any act that could disrupt the peace in the state.

He said, “We expect the students to imbibe the culture of peace in conflict resolution.”

Lucky chaps, I really envy them, bursary awards, salary from level 6 if you are a medical student or in any health related course, a favorable Quota system into federal govt jobs ( irrespective of competence , just produce the certificate) and admission, being begged to " just score 180 and above in Jamb and be assured of university admission, educational disadvantaged states status etc. I remembered in all my 2 years and 6 years in the polytechnic and university respectively, I only collected bursary once and to collect the 500 naira, I had to travel from the east to my state capital. Some are born just Lucky wink wink wink

Tomorrow they will open there bucal cavity to talk of marginalization. There school fee is highly subsidized in addition to bursery incentive. They've made the Nigerian constitution to favour there cows and onions(hope u grab?), its high time we southerners rose up to fight this injustice frm this uncircumcised philistines. Yoruba,igbo, ibibio and ijaw shld integrate and determine the future of there unborn children.

Ignorance is bliss. What is boko haram mentallity about busary? How is it an incentive for abokis to go to school? You bigots should get urselves educated. all states pay busary from year to year. I'm a product of unilag and i know it. most states don't pay every year though but i'm sure ogun state and lagos state both payed about 3yrs ago. Ekiti payed too. There was a year lagos even payed 50k for busary. My sister collected the busary for Ogun state. My cousin collected for oyo. You fools should get yourselves educated. ret*arded tribalists!!!

Nigerians and their twisted sense of priority.did this students ever bother to raise placards when their lecturers and fellow students were hacked down in cold blood for no just cause?so,the 'peanuts'they are clamouring for is of more value to them than human life..

Alumni of ABU Zaria, virtually all the students in my school got bursary allocation except for the Eastern states that I'm clueless about.
