"Suspend The Use Of ID Cards, Use Admission Letters" - ESAN President tells Min. Of Education.

The national president of Education Students Association Of Nigeria (ESAN) Comrade Ekemini David, had on Thursday 6th October 2022, made public the concerns of Students of education in Nigeria, across Colleges and University faculties, on the just approved Education bursary award of President Buhari, especially as it has to do with conditions for application, one of which is the use of ID cards.

On a live TV interview on the Advocate Broadcasting Network, with Amazing Ekedebe, Ekemini had mentioned that though the award was "a piece of great joy" to all Education Students, according to him in the over 40 years of existence of the discipline, it was the first students studying education were ever considered for bursary by the government, yet there were a number of issues that could limit the actualization of Mr President's good intentions.

The national president who insisted, that most valid Education students possibly may not benefit from the award because they do not have the ID card that's already a condition for application. Stating this, he mentioned that the unavailability of the cards, aren't caused by the students, but the slow administration of the respective schools. Furthering, he added, that the names of valid students were already submitted through the NUC(national Universities Commission) and NCCE(national Commission For Colleges Of Education) to the federal ministry, thus advocating the option of using admission letters that all students have as against ID cards, in his words "Admission Letters are owned by all students in Nigeria, it is one of the first documents you have as a student"

The application portal hasn't been responding since morning.

Best move or they should use both
