Rescue Our Children, Parents Of Stranded Zamfara Students In Cyprus Beg Gov Lawal

Parents of Zamfara State students studying at Cyprus International University under a government scholarship are pleading with Governor Dauda Lawal to address the hardships their children are enduring due to unpaid scholarship fees.

A total of 93 Zamfara students were sponsored by the previous administration to study at the university in Cyprus. However, they are now facing severe challenges, having been evicted from their hostels and denied access to essential facilities due to outstanding fees.

One concerned father, who wished to remain anonymous, said his child and others are subjected to harassment by the university management over unpaid debts.

“When the previous government sent our children abroad, we believed everything would run smoothly. Recently, however, our children were evicted from their accommodations, and it became clear there were issues,” he said. Daily Trust
