President, Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, Mr. Udengs Eradiri, has cried out over
the plight of over 6,000 Niger Delta students on Federal Government’s
scholarships in some foreign universities.
He said the authorities of the foreign universities had started delisting the
students, majority of whom were Ijaws, due to the alleged Federal Government’s
failure to pay the students’ fees.
Eradiri, who made the revelation at a news conference on Tuesday in Yenagoa,
appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and other well meaning Nigerians to
wade into the matter to save the students.
He said the students’ plight was compounded by the vacuum in the Presidential
Amnesty Programme because of absence of an administrator for the programme.
The IYC boss said the amnesty programme had of recent been beset with a lot of
bureaucratic bottlenecks due to absence of an administrator.
He therefore urged President Buhari to appoint an administrator for the
programme or do whatever he could with “the executive power he wields to
ensure that somebody begins to take responsibility in that office.”
He said he had been under intense pressure in trying to maintain the peace in the
region because stipends to ex-agitators had not been paid for the last two
months.
Eradiri said he and other Ijaw leaders had been appealing for calm and for them
not to take to the streets, nor go back to the creeks.
He stressed that they had been appealing to them to give President Buhari an
opportunity to run government.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on the Niger Delta leaders, well meaning
Nigerians and President Muhammadu Buhari to the fact that the cause of the
vacuum in the presidential amnesty programme is as a result of the change in
leadership.
“It has begun to tell on the lives of our young ones that are undergoing university
training as a result of the amnesty programme in various countries – America,
United Kingdom, London, South Africa and other African countries where we have
young Nigerians.
“These young Nigerians who are undergoing education and training scattered
round the world, because of the bureaucratic nature of the programme, the
funding used to be month by month, most of the upkeep of the students is usually
on a monthly basis.
But for two months now, the students have not been paid; the financial
obligations to the institutions have not been met and so we heard the shocking
news that some of the institutions have started delisting some of the students
studying there.
“As for the UK, we know that rents are paid monthly and when the stipends are
paid, these students also pay their rent. As I speak to you, a lot of them now are
being thrown out of their accommodation; they are all on the streets.”
He said the matter was getting to a breaking point where they could no longer
hold them (youths) back because “we have been doing that with just the word of
mouth and the goodwill we enjoy as leaders. But when government fails to do
their own part, then very unfortunately, we will not be able to maintain the peace
as it was in the last few months.”
