Ikpeazu Deducts N30K Pocket Money For Students Of Abia Origin In ABSU From Their School Fees

Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has directed the deduction of N30,000 pocket money he offered students of Abia origin in Abia State University Uturu, from their school fees, IgbereTV reports.

Students in Abia state under the aegis of Abia Joint Students Leaders had appealed to the governor to reverse the decision to offer them the sum of N30,000 bursary to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, and instead covert the sum to their fees and deduct from source, saying that it will be more impactful to them.

Consequently, Governor Ikpeazu accepted their request. He wrote on his Twitter handle:

"I’ve directed the management of Abia State University, Uturu, to deduct the N30,000 pocket money for students of Abia origin from their school fees as widely requested by the students. We'll continue to listen & do whatever is necessary to ensure our high flying students excel"

It still won't stop you from retaining your medal as the worst governor the world has ever seen

they asked for reduction in their school fees not just deduction of 30k alone, this man wants to use people's brain and drink garri

Good news. But why should it only be deducted from the school fees of Abia state indigenes alone What about Igbos from other state in the south east and their brothers in the south south

Funny and Corny man deducting bursary from school fees, or using bursary to subsidise school fees is criminal act


Bursary is for welfare of the students and has nothing to do with tuition fees reduction

.

I hope it should continue in the future. The students requested for a "reduction in their school fee" but the government craftily "deducted bursary from their fee".

Brain work!
Meaning, the students chop N30k out of the school fee dem parents give dem during the COVID-19 holidays.

It's still ok
