What a joy unspeakable to the life of the national association
of igede students Benue state university chapter as their president
(Adutu) comrade Orji Sylvester Egwu break the news of scholarship to be
sponsored by the member representing Oju/Obi federal house of
representative Hon. Samson Okwu and also project assistance to all final
year students of NUISITE Benue state university to be sponsored by Hon.
Odeh Ageh commissioner of information and orientation Benue state
government. The news of the scholarship and project assistance has bring
credence and good reputation to the two stakeholders mention above by
the igede students of Benue state university, makurdi. Also the students
give credit to their president (Adutu) for bringing such privileges and
what some students called a dawn hope during his tenure. The news of
scholarship and project assistance have compelled several students to
attend NUIS meeting for the very first time since there see it as a
dividends of democracy from their representative in the federal house of
representative and state executive council.
The president use
Nigeria factor as nothing is free, he succeeded in collecting the sum of
two hundred naira (#200) from all the igede students in Benue state
university. All in the name of paying dues before you will be qualify to
benefit the scholarship and project assistance. Only God known how many
students surrender their widow-smite to the NUIS dues, only God known
how many students borrow money to pay their dues, who knows if the
process has not claimed the virginity of our desperate daughters who vow
not to dish their pride out to any other person than their spouse but
in the process of lobbing to be a beneficiary the may compromise their
vow. I can say without any equivocation that the exercise has bring
acrimony, bitterness and quagmire to the life of many NUISITE in Benue
state university since it has never seen the light of the day. several
students borrow #5000 from their school fees, others borrow #5000 from
their rentage to replace it when the scholarship come to materialize
since the president promise that the exercise will come to materialize
before exams.
Now, the president have silent over the scholarship
and the projects assistance, all efforts to make him talk about the
issue prove abortive. There are rumours that Hon. Samson Okwu have never
promise to give scholarship to any students at all.
What an
injustice, what a pendulum as the hope of those who borrow their school
fees to replace it before exam have hit rock. This has bring setback to
the entire igede nation as most of the igede students have been denied
of their exams due to the failure of not paying their school fees as the
part of their fees have been spend anticipating to use scholarship or
project assistance complete it.
The erudite, pragmatic and
ambassadors of igede students of Benue state university demand Hon.
Samson Okwu and Hon. Odeh Ageh to come and clear the air over the issue.
We desire to know if truly the suppose number one igede students in
Benue state university ( comrade Orji Sylvester Egwu) lie against them
or not, because he has succeeded in tarnishing their image in igede
land, because this singular act can cripple their political career. This
issue may stagnate the running of NUIS activities onward because trust
is at stake. NUIS is the only voice of igede people in the school, igede
voice must not be dumb in the university.
Hon. Samson Okwu and Hon.
Odeh Ageh must pay our scholarship and project assistance if not the
NUISITE will never forgive comrade Orji Sylvester Egwu. This is my
humble logomaty without logo-apartial.
