Atiku Accuses Tinubu Government of Neglecting 1,600 Nigerian Students Abroad After Scholarship Ends
Former Vice President Atiku accuses the administration of President Bola Tinubu of neglecting 1,600 Nigerian students studying abroad under the BEA scholarship scheme. The scholarship program, which began in 1993, was discontinued without adequate notice, leaving beneficiaries stranded overseas.
Atiku highlights that students have not received stipends since September 2023, leading to hunger, rent arrears, and emotional distress. The situation has prompted protests and demands for settlement.
Atiku criticizes the government's decision to suspend the program, citing the mismanagement of public funds. The unresolved issue has left young scholars uncertain about their future.
