There are already strategies on the way by the opposition party to woo students who are Lagos state indigenes due to the delay of Scholarship and Bursary funds. This could have a negative effect on the support base of Sanwo-Olu.

The Lagos State Scholarship Board which provides scholarships and bursary for indigenes of Lagos state in tertiary institutions is failing in its duty to provide the fund as at when due.

It was announced in October this year that the State Government had released fund for the 2017/2018 session. Documentation was followed with the payment of N2000 by the new beneficiaries. But there has been no news since the end of documentation.

Already some of the students spoken with are planning to organised a peaceful protest on the 5th of December. This will be very unprecedented as there have never been such delays in payment of Scholarship before. It will be another low for the current Lagos state government after the much talked about dirty Lagos. The Ambode-led government need to rise to the occasion and nib the bud on time otherwise, Sanwo-Olu may suffer the consequences while the opposition party use the medium to woo the students.

Lagos students occupy State House over non-payment of scholarship and bursary


The National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS) on Wednesday, December 5 staged a peaceful protest to Governor’s Office (Lagos House), Ikeja over the unexplained delay in payment of 2016, 2017 and 2018 bursary and local scholarship to beneficiaries and awardees.
The beneficiaries are students of Lagos-origin in various higher institutions of learning in Nigeria and overseas. Paying bursaries to these set of students has been a long-time tradition of state and it dated back to 1980 when the scheme was initiated by Lateef Jakande administration. Subsequent administrations in the state have kept this scheme and considered it a noble one.

It would be recalled that the students had threatened to embark on social disturbance over the non-payment of their bursary for the 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/18 academic sessions.

According to NULASS, Governor Ambode announced on October 16, 2018, that his administration had released a sum of N683 million for payment of bursary, local and foreign scholarship to students of Lagos-origin across Nigeria and overseas. This fund is expected to cover payments for arrears of bursaries and scholarships.

Fifty-two (52) days after this announcement the students claimed they are yet to receive any payment from the government.


“It is with burning, melting, and embittered hearth that the apex body of the only Indigenous Students of Lagos State origin – National Union of Lagos State Students’ (NULASS), which comprises of the five divisions of the state (Ikorodu, Badagry, Ikeja, Lagos Island and Epe) rise on our feet’s to express our pains and pour our grievances on the lackadaisical and ungodly attitude of the state government towards the indigenous students.

“The government has turned deaf ears to the yearnings and chants on the urgent need to roll-out payment of the bursary and local scholarship awards.”


“It is sardonic, lugubrious and a show of state of dismay that the Lagos state government can be so toiling, deceitful and scamming the populace by using the media to trick over 6.2 million students of Lagos-origin on bursary and local scholarships. The Lagos state government on 16th of October, 2018 falsely announced to the release of the sum of N683 million for payment of bursary, local and foreign scholarships.”

The Lagos State Scholarship Board (LSSB) hinted that its accounts are yet to be credited with the stated fund for onward disbursement to beneficiaries.

The Lagos state government response
The protesting students were addressed by the officials of the government including the State Accountant General, Special Adviser to the Governor on Education Mr Obafela Bank- Olemoh, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Executive Secretary of LSSB among others.

According to Mr Ojoare Balaji, NULASS President LASU Chapter: “The government has assured us that our voices have been heard and promised to pay as soon as possible. There is no time frame for this promised payment.”

Based on this, the body extended the ultimatum till Friday, December 7.

Any decision yet...??

What's happening

Niorte:

Ambode has nothing to lose. Sanwo-Olu may bear the consequence. All those LASU students can scatter ground well....lol

lol what is the population of LASU Student?

ossy7881:


lol what is the population of LASU Student?

If you are born or bred in Lagos you should know.

Nearly ALL Lagos state indigenes have at least one of their family members in Lagos state higher institutions of learning.

Any latest information about NULASS moves or plans to make this government facilitate the payment? What are the possible strategies and all on ground as at now?

The political godfathers and their sons would have to share from this grievance of our student. We've been undermined and we won't take it for granted. We keep low profile doesn't mean we don't exist. Any baale that supports this criminal politician instead of soliciting on our behalf would have himself to blame lalasticlacla help move this to front page

*Press Release Thursday January 10,2019*

*Notification of Undue Defamation of the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode*

_While we shed tears we must always maintain foresight_

In reaction and as a clarification on the publication on a social media site accusing the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of allegedly diverting funds meant for students bursary and scholarship payments into the election campaign of the APC unduly published in our name as a product of yellow journalists and anti welfare forces within the union coming as a consequence of some aggrieved interests plaguing the union.

We hereby issue a formal rejection and outright debunkery of any responsibility for the publication. No legal authority within the Union was authorised to issue anything of such.

*Our recent social media protest was to continue to raise the reminder to the Governor on the need to promptly release the funds*.


We are a politically neutral, social and academic welfare based union and any action to discredit any candidate or pay allegiance to any political party is not amongst our primary objectives and goals.

*The welfare of nulassites is our primary and most important priority*

We use this medium to pass a vote of confidence in the management of the Lagos State Scholarship Board headed by Mr S.L Oshinowo and the PRO Mr Adetoro Adeyemi A. We commend their effervescent relationship with us in the past and present.
God bless you .Long Live Nulass..

Ambode has nothing to lose. Sanwo-Olu may bear the consequence. All those LASU students can scatter ground well....lol

For Lagos the people does not matter,it is the godfather that runs things,he determines what happens,who gets what,remove the people from the equation if you want to get a correct answer
I million lasu students can't do Nada

This is rubbish news...rubbish post...

There is nothing like ambode scholarship or Sanwolu scholarship....

The scholarship scheme predates all those in politics now...that scheme was put in place by Latest Jakande ...

And let's us use our heads once in a while...

If Sanwolu (unlike Ambode) can complete on the project of his predecessor....

Is it a scholarship that he probably benefited from when he was at school he is not going to pay.....


All this is the main reason Nigerians deserve thier leaders....

The followers are not so different from their leaders
