An Open Letter to His Excellency Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
Phd, OFR
Your Excellency we choose to write to you via this medium
because we have exhausted all possible means to get your kind
attention. We have been trying to contact the institutions and
other authorities upon whom our responsibilities lie on, but to no
avail.
We are the students sponsored by Kano state Government to study
in various countries around the world. But unfortunately we have
been left in a very difficult situation with unpaid tuition fees,
pending upkeep allowances and accommodation fees. We have tried
contacting the scholarship board, ministry of education and all the
responsible agencies, but they have stopped responding to us. We
have tried all possible means to reach out to His Excellency
without success. That’s why we decided to write an open letter to
draw your attention to our plights perhaps you might bring us
help.
Sir, for most of us it has been more than a year since the last
we received our upkeep allowances. Living in a foreign country
without food and sometimes not even proper accommodation expose us
to great suffering and social vices. A lot of us in so many
occasion have to rely on their foreign classmates for some lively
expenses while spending a day without even one meal is a common
experience for most of us. Included among us are ladies whose
vulnerability in this kind of situation cannot be
overemphasized.
Your Excellency sir, currently our colleagues in El-razy
University in Sudan are suspended from going to classes in their
final year due to lack of tuition fees, while Omdurman University
students have already completed their studies but the university
refuse to issue their certificate because of refusal to settle
their school fees, and landlords have confiscated their
international passports[because they haven’t settled their debt],
Students from Ahfad University have an outstanding tuition of three
years.
Outstanding upkeep and maintenance allowances
1-Students from India have 18 months outstanding upkeep allowance
and return tickets.
2-Students from Sudan 22 months upkeep allowances and 11 months
accommodation fees.
3-Students Egypt owe 18 months upkeep allowances, resident permit
fees and return tickets.
Your Excellency, most of our parents are not financially stable,
we are in a difficult situation. And right now our fate lies in
your hand. We are dutiful sons and daughters of Kano State, Our
studies’ biggest purpose is to serve the good people of Kano and
Nigeria. Please don’t let us fail, you’re our father and we believe
you would love to see us succeed.”
