Students of Delta State under the banner of National Association
of Delta State Students, NADESSTU, recently threatened to shut down Asaba, the
capital of Delta State, if their 2013/2014 bursary was not paid within the next
two weeks.\
The Association
in a statement by the National President Shaka Emomine, and others, 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
statement also stated that student were already losing faith in the state
government,
Vanguard reports the statement said:
“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.”
