Houseontherock1:
EFCC on top of everything? I think the NPF is supposed to be in charge of cases like illegal mining? Okay...maybe somehow, it's a financial crime...but then, robbery is also a financial crime and EFCC won't go after armed robbers undecided
I think it's rather an Economic crime which is still within the purview of the EFCC.

Yes the police can also do it because the police is the mother of all the other LEAs and has an encompassing mandate of all.

EFCC no fit go after armed rubber sha, cos that one na strictly police work.

Do or eat that thing that you long for when you're longing for it. Don't wait for tomorrow when the price is down or when you'll have more money.

Cos when tomorrow comes in Nigeria things get more expensive that your more money can't afford anymore.

EducationFG Foreign Scholarship Beneficiaries Lament Unpaid Eight-month Stipends by Kongaone(op): 11:47am On Mar 07, 2024
Nigerian students studying in Russia, Morocco, Algeria, China, Hungary, and other countries, on the Federal Government’s scholarship have lamented their unpaid stipends for eight months running.

The students are studying under the Federal Government’s Bilateral Educational Agreement Scholarship.

The BEA scholarship is for the purpose of education exchange between Nigeria and the partnering countries.

The scholarship scheme is being supervised by the Federal Scholarship Board under the Federal Ministry of Education.


In a statement on Wednesday, the President of the Union of Nigerian Students under the Federal Government-controlled Bilateral Educational Agreement Scholarship, Ayuba Anas, said the scholars had not been paid for close to eight months.

Anas said,“For the past six to eight months, scholars enrolled in various institutions abroad have endured financial strain due to the delay in receiving their stipends.

“In addition, from the last payments we received (March-August), there was a shortfall of practically two and a half months’ payment. Moreover, some students in China have not received any stipends since they arrived in April and May 2023.


“This delay has led to dire consequences, especially for those residing in countries like Morocco, where the country doesn’t have adequate provisions for school hostels, unlike the other sister BEA countries. This means that stipends are crucial for covering basic expenses such as housing, electricity bills, handouts, internet bills, water bills, transportation, and food.

“Regrettably, some students have faced eviction as they struggled to meet rent payments, while others have tragically fallen ill due to hunger, requiring urgent medical attention. These hardships persist amidst the ongoing delay in stipend disbursement.”

According to Anas, scholars in Russia “are grappling with the harsh reality of an increased cost of living, exacerbated by the prolonged delay in stipend disbursement.”

“Forced to navigate financial hardships amidst the pressures of academic stress, many students have been pushed to the breaking point which is diverting their focus from their primary goal of academic excellence,” he said.

The students said while they were aware of the current economic realities back home in Nigeria, the terms of the education exchange programme did not allow them to take up any job to aid themselves.

They implored the Federal Government to recognise their plight and take immediate action to alleviate their suffering.

“We earnestly plead with our President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as a father figure and a visionary in education, to intervene in this pressing matter.
