Where is our bursary? Who is with our bursary? When they know they wouldn't give it to us, why share the information that we should come for it? Who are those that were announced to have been given the money?
These are the questions being asked by the students of Kwara State College of Education Ilorin after being told to come for their bursary on Monday 5th of June 2017, following the information passed after the evening prayer (Tarawih) at the college library,that all Kwara State indigen should come over to the Hall 2 with their school /departmental I.d card and certificate of state of origin with 300 naira for some national receipt in order to get individual share of the money.
But unfortunately for the students, on getting to the hall on Monday, it was another story entirely, the students were stranded in the sun till about 2pm before leaving the location.
A student who identified herself as Zainab said during an interview at the Hall on Monday that,'we don't even understand them at all since morning that we've been sitting here, the NAKS President Sen.kau kano is just coming in and out and not telling us anything, even the students affairs units have all been here, they also went in then came out and left instantly without saying a word to us, we could see some people also decorating the Hall, which gives us assurance that probably they were expecting an honorable guest I think"
Another student that very Monday said"we were told that we should come with our I.d card which the school have refused to give us since year one, I sha come with my departmental maybe I will be given. She added when asked how much is the money. She said"some are saying 5000 naira while some said 4,500 naira.
Nothing at all was given to the students on Monday and were told the Governor of Kwara State wasn't around so till the next day. We also visited the venue on Tuesday 6th of June 2017,just few people came around saying others left upon hearing a rumor.
A student name withheld said during an interview at the hall that" we heard that the management are insisting to get a cut out of the money,or else the students wouldn't be allowed to get their share, I think that's why people are leaving, in fact ,I heard that the money has been brought to the bursary department since Friday but we don't know why them no one give us our money o,and bukata don dey on the money, I won add am to my school fees ni but now that they don't want to give us, tor awon nuun,olohun nuun( I hand them over to God).
Till the end of Tuesday, nothing was given to the students, now we have been hearing that the government has announced on radio that our bursary have been paid to us and we haven't gotten anything yet.
Till now ,the NAKS President Sen.Kau kano has not said anything yet order than saying "am I the government who announced your bursary on radio?
Now my question is, is he not the one representing the governor of Kwara State, Gov.Abdulfatah Hammed in the college then representing the whole Kwara State students in the college at the government house?
The question being posed by the students is "Where is our bursary? Who is with our bursary? The government, management or naks President himself...
