Delta students threaten to shutdown Asaba over unpaid bursaries

Members of the National Association of Delta State Students,
NADESSTU, have threatened to shut down the capital city of
Asaba, if their 2013/2014 bursary was not paid in the next
two weeks.
NADESSTU in a communiqué at the end of its emergency
meeting at Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, said that the
students were no longer happy with the development, adding
that any further delay in the payment of the bursary may lead
to students’ unrest in the state.
The communiqué by Shaka Emomine, National President and
others, decried that the student community was losing faith
in the national leadership of the association over the issue.
The communiqué, read:
“The national leadership of the association will no longer
stand any chance of losing or jeopardizing the trust
bestowed on us by our fellow students whom we were
elected to serve and protect their interest.
“Therefore, the Delta State Government is hereby issued a
two-week ultimatum to come up with the payment of the
Delta State Students Bursary/Scholarships Award or risk a
state wide protest from the students with its main target
being the state capital, Asaba with a magnitude of protest
capable of bringing all commercial activities in the beautiful
city to a halt until the cries of the students are listened to.”
