Nigerian students from Zamfara expelled by Cyprus university

No fewer than 91 students from Zamfara state have been expelled by Cyprus International University over the failure of the Northwestern state government to pay the tuition and other fees.

The students who are on state-sponsored scholarships in the university were evicted because Zamfara has not fulfilled the agreement for the scholarship signed some years ago.

Nigeria Abroad reports that some of the students who spoke to BBC Hausa Service, on Monday, cried out that they are faced with hunger, starvation and threat of arrest, in addition to the fact that their residence permits have expired and they could be arrested by the authorities for being in the country illegally.

One of the students who pleaded anonymity said, “We started having the problem between the school and the Zamfara state government since our first year in school but we thought it could be resolved without raising our voices.

“When the Zamfara state government sent us here (Cyprus), they had agreements with school. But from all indications, those or part of the agreements were obviously not fulfilled, hence the negative reaction of the school.

“For example, when we were coming here (Cyprus), they told us that our school fees have been paid for a few years. We were also told that we would be paid allowances of 100 dollars. But when we came initially, they gave us some money but not up to $100 as promised, and that was the beginning of the problem.

“This is our third year in this country and the situation has gotten worst. It has gotten to the point that the school said they won’t tolerate us again, and had to send us out of school and also evicted us out of the hostel. At the moment, we are homeless, devastated and don’t know what to do.

“We don’t have food nor do we have befitting shelter because the school has chased us out of the hostel. Many of us have resorted to sleeping in Mosques and other unhealthy/unsafe places. We don’t know where some of the students are now, but I believe that many of them have found their ways of survival. This is our second month of being in this inhumane condition here.”

This same thing every year....

.my family friend who is a lecturer suffered the same fate through tet fund....his employer/ univeristy refused to transfer all the tuition and salary for 4 years to the foreign institution to disburse funds to him when needed as recommended by the school in the uk

Instead the nigerian institution held on to the funds after paying for first year.. claiming they want to supervise progress and disburse the money themselves...

xchange rate first caught up caught up with the money in the state goverment purse
In year two....they gave him less than he was supposed to get for school fees and salary in year two..

..later they spent the remaining money..
leaving him stranded in the second year of his phd.......

Government will come back to create fake stories about the host country. Nigeria ehn

apache22b:
With all the corruption going on in this Buhari's administration, the Obidient's urchins still want Peter Obi to be President? god forbid. It's a shame because Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins cannot do anything.

Tinubu should be given the chance to continue where Buhari stops.

The burden will be too much for Peter Obi, we need a strong and highly experienced Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take Nigeria to greater heights.

Peter Obi is a failure, he failed in Anambra.


My fellow youths, we cannot risk our future in the hands of Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins, it would be suicidal to make such a mistake now .

Wake up my fellow Nigerians and let support Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he's the Messiah we all have always wished for .

god bless my fellow youths

we should follow a 88years old man, who can not make a comprehensive statement because he want to be a president. Eee be like say them swear for you abi. You are a money worshipper, you have sold your soul for just a bread that won't last. My advise to you, yes things are hard right now for everybody and you have to do what you have to do to survive but that should not mean their is no hope for you to make it tomorrow. Don't let politicians to use and dump you because of the token they're offering you currently.

What you wrote up there does not make sense.
If more than 20 youths have been killed and it went uninvestigated then that is more important than any other excuse.

If you are a Nigerian youth, do not go to North Cyprus to study or work, they will kill you and instead of answering for your death and conse your family they will come on nairaland tjrough proxies to make lousy excuses on why your life is less important than their recruitment business.
Do not go to North Cyprus! FG and your family can not protect you there.

It is not fake. Please let people go elsewhere. Life has no duplicate.
The FG advisory is sound and appropriate and anyone countering it should be ready to guarantee the safety of Nigerian youths or be tried if any of our youths get killed.

These 20 persons killed don't have sponsors. They just packed their bags and off to Cyprus. Their family should speak out so we can be sure what the Federal government are saying the truth.

You have never faulted the Federal government for once even with all its anti-people policies that's why your candidate for 2023 election should be avoided like a plague. You are a hater of the good people of Nigeria.

When you have your own children you can use them for experiment by sending them to North Cyprus but for now, the FG advisory stands. Any Nigerian Youth going to Cyprus north should get ready to get killed and FG can not save you!
To avoid wasting your life in a foreign land, do not go to Northern Cyprus for now. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
Go to any other country but Northern Cyprus.

These guys saying FG is lying are recruiters looking for their commission instead of finding alternative safe countries for you. Northen cyprus is not even a country!

Stop talking rubbish. Cyprus is different from Northern Cyprus.

If you think that the FG is playing travel to Northern Cyprus and see...

Everything is politics to you...
