Sanwo-Olu Increases Bursary, Scholarship For Lagos Students In Tertiary Institutions

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has increased scholarships and bursaries for students in tertiary institutions who are of Lagos State origin.

He said his administration would now pay N225,000 and N60,000 as scholarships and bursaries to indigene students, as against the existing N200,000 and N50,000.

Sanwo-Olu spoke during a One-Day Interactive Session with student union leaders and stakeholders organized by the Ministry of Tertiary Education.

The governor also announced scholarships for the less privileged and physically challenged students in public tertiary institutions, noting that the scholarship would not be limited to Lagos indigenes alone.

He also announced the appointment of four former Students Union leaders as his Senior Special Assistants (SSAs). The appointed SSAs were Eniola Opeyemi, Kayode Samuel, Giwa Moore, and Adeola Adewunmi.

Nigerian Students, Others No Longer Able To Bring Dependents

The United Kingdom Home Office has said that overseas students, including those from Nigeria, will no longer be able to bring family members to the country, effective January 1, 2024.

In a New Year post on X, the UK Home Office said they are fully committed to seeing a decisive cut in migration.

The Home Office, however, exempted postgraduate research or government-funded scholarship students from the ban.

The United Kingdom first announced moves to stop overseas students from bringing migrants to the UK in mid-2023.

The UK is one of the top destinations for Nigerian youths relocating to pursue better education, employment and security purposes, among other reasons.

With Nigeria’s unemployment rate at a new record high of over 33.3 per cent, the mass exodus known as the ‘Japa’ phenomenon is in full swing.

Nwankwo was said to be travelling on a commercial motorcycle along Road 1 on the campus when the accident that claimed her life occurred.

Sources on campus said immediately after the accident occurred, Nwankwo and the motorcyclist who conveyed her were rushed to the health centre, from where they were moved to OAU Teaching Hospital, where the student was confirmed dead.

Before the accident, a motorcyclist and another student of the university, Deborah Okunola, had been injured in another accident.

While they were being attended to, a motorcyclist conveying Nwankwo, upon arriving at the scene, got carried away and lost control after a bus coming behind hit it.

The spokesperson of the school, Abiodun Olanrewaju, confirmed the accidents.

Parents Of Abducted University Students Protest In Zamfara

Parents of the abducted students of the Federal University of Gusau in Zamfara State have staged a peaceful protest at the Government House in Gusau, demanding the unconditional release of their children.

They want Governor Dauda Lawal and security agencies to rescue their children, who have been in captivity for 72 days, unhurt.

No fewer than 24 students of the university, ten construction workers, a staff member of the university, and his daughter were kidnapped on September 22 this year in Sabon-Gida, a community hosting the main campus of the university.

However, 13 students and three construction workers have been rescued, while others are still in captivity.

The protesters, who vowed to remain at the Zamfara State Government House until their children are released, said the abductors have contacted some of them. The only condition they gave was to have a negotiation with the government.
