Zamfara State government has declared as unfounded the allegation by some foreign students in Sudan that, they have been evicted from their residential apartments due to non payment of the house rent by the government.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Students Matters and Scholarship Lukuman Bisallah Majidadi made the declaration in an exclusive interview with Thunder Blowers Online News Medium in Gusau on Tuesday.
He noted that, to the best of his knowledge, the state government has paid complete annual house rent to all its students studying in Sudan as well as paid their annual tuition fees to the University.
He said beside these giant steps, the government has sustain the monthly payment of 100 dollar to each of its students in Sudan as monthly allowances.
He said this morning he has called the state government agent in Sudan to confirm the true picture of the situation and he confirmed that, there is nothing like eviction of Zamfara students from any of its rented apartments.
Majidadi explained further that, the government is fully aware that, some politicians are behind the plans to instigating the students to embark on the protest for their selfish political reasons.
He noted that it was unfortunate that, some parent went to the extent of returning their children back to Nigeria in the name of Corona Virus without consulting the government and same parent now want the governme to be paying the monthly allowances of 100 dollars to their children even while at home.
Majidadi therefore called on the parent whose children are currently in Sudan not to panic hence the state government is doing everything possible to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of their children.
