Aggrieved students from Rivers
state who were sent to the UK on scholarship by their state government and have
not been paid their allowances nor fees for a while, today ambushed the
state governor, Nyesom Wike, in London.
Governor Wike had just left the
Chatham house where he delivered a speech and was on his way out when the
students carrying placards with various inscriptions, accosted him and asked
that he release funds for the payment of their fees and allowances.
According to reports, Governor
Wike asked those who were studying Medicine and Engineering to be patient as
the government would soon meet their demands while those on scholarship for
courses like Law, Philosophy, and others were asked to come back home as the
state has a University with enough lecturers to teach such courses.
Governor Wike reportedly told the
students that the state is currently experiencing an economic meltdown and
would not be spending money on things that have alternatives back home.
An angry Governor Wike told one
of the students that she was rude. Watch a video from the incident below:
