We need at least 1,000 tweets to make a trend. Unless some influencers are ready to help us out, there's really no way we can make it trend

We can if everyone viewing this thread tweet about it

Since 2018 federal government has not paid us. Alot of us are in dire need of this funds as it is a necessary prerequisite for our education. Please pay us ooooooooooooooooo. We did our verification since January. Please and please pay us.

It's even more shocking that we are yet to be paid after this news greeted us earlier this year..question is, was this just a mere shenanigan because of the elections as at that period?

The federal government should as a matter of urgency look into the flight of this scholars. I hope the message would get to the appropriate quaters for prompt action

Plight

That's why this nation is not moving forward. How can money be released and yet not disbursed to appropriate recipients?

The number one mistake made was applying for a government backed scholarship program. Except for PTDF (which had slight payment issues few years ago), folks should not apply for a scholarship backed by a Nigerian government.

Some weeks before the election, the minister announced that the funds have been approved and disbursed, verification exercises were done few days later. It's almost three months since then and nothing has been done. Tolls of calls to the Board keep having one response: "we will pay soon" which begs the question why the process is taking so long.
Could it be the honourable minister used this as a campaign strategy to garner votes for APC, or that the board has diverted the money into a fix deposit account to generate interests or that the board are just non-chalant about this....up until they'll blame a python for swallowing the money.
I guess, we'll never know. But whatever the cause may be, it high time things are done right...the bills are climbing and the pressure is high on the side of these scholars some of whom cannot afford the cost of education again.

The federal government scholars are in a state of brokeness ���� FSB pay up our arrears

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP/GRANT BE PAID

His Excellency, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President M Buhari.
His Excellency, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,
The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu
All protocols are duly well extended.

We the Nigerian students/scholars would like to commend the Federal government and the ministry of education for their efforts so far towards improving the standard of education in Nigeria and also the welfare of the students, but our heart still remains in a state of unrest as our tuition fees and living expenses as students are left hanging/not catered for. It has been over two months now since the student beneficiaries of Federal Government Scholarship completed their verification for the continuation of their scholarship benefits, however no disbursement of funds have been made so far with respect to the Federal Government Scholarship awards for undergraduates and post graduate students. It is worthy of note that the last time we were paid was in 2017.

We have always believed in this administration so we beg and plead that you should not let us down. We beseech on the authority to please take prompt action to ensure that the funds are disbursed to the concerned students as this delay poses significant threat to the academic stability and wellbeing of the students/scholars. Education still remains the best legacy, so please support our future and invest rightly.

The government should do something about the situation especially that the education minister has mentioned in January that the money for the payment has been disbursed and directed the scholarship board to pay backlog of scholarship arrears it's owing. So, what causing all this delay in payment 3 months after verification had taken place across the nation?

Prof Tradermoni should help education ministry with his largess

A nation that places more value on ephemeral stuffs and jamboree rather than education and research is bound to fail.
Lalastica, pls move to front page...

hmm

This should not be happening in a country that needs to grow its GDP rapidly. The government funds pilgrims in a very organised manner but have issues when it comes to funding education.
As a matter of urgency, at least a quarter of the budget shouldn't be devoted to education.

FG should look into this matter...The funds for this payment has been disbursed since February before the General Elections.

Let's look for a way to make this trend on Twitter cos most of the people that will influence the facilitation of the payment won't visit nairaland.

Semtu:
We wrote our exams last year Apirl but we are yet to even see the results till now.

FSB should hurry up the process

It seems you are not shortlisted. Try next year.

SuccessSoi:

I was offered the scholarship in 2013 and paid in 2017. So keep talking.

backT:

Shut up please.... The list hasn't been released for those who wrote the exams last year

Gosh

9999999

Playing politics with what is supposed to be a responsibility. It is a shame

I have looked @ my phone several times for bank alert since Feb 5th that I did my verification but nothing. I hope and pray FG or the board pays this money asap!

AgamaProf:
Pls o...push to front page. I don dey expect this money since last year.They have released the money since o.....but to pay is now the problem. It seems they fixed the money or someone is trying to embezzle it. My 180 k no be money wey De go fit chop. I passed through hell before I could secure the scholarship....infact, I wrote my scholarship test around 7pm in the evening with torch light. The kind headache wey I get that day I no think have ever had that kind of headache before......so pay us our money. Have tried mailing them, but it seems their site is under construction.

yours is last year
mine was since 2012
maybe they'll pay tomorrow sha oooo
I still have the exam slip

this is absolute wickedness of FSB to hoard this money in order to make a huge interest returns from it. Imagine fixing 9bn naira in a bank for 3months.

Modupetemmy1:

You've not been paid since 2012?

Things that concern education in this country should not be treated as irrelevant. Any investment made on education is an investment on Human capital and one of the ways to economic growth and development.......And that's what Nigerian Government doesn't know.

.

I think we should make effort on how this non payment by FSB would trend on Twitter pls. Since January when we did their so called verification fa. This is becoming unbecoming

Wrote the exam in early 2018. Still no result yet, not to speak of payment.

And they had the nerve to conduct the 2019 exam months ago

Really, do we have government in this country? Education - zero, security - zero, health care - zero. Everything about our governments at all levels is just failure. Where have we gone wrong as a nation and people??
