Nigerian students in Russia having took to the streets of Moscow Monday,
to protest over a 12 month unpaid stipends at the Nigerian embassy.
The students who are beneficiaries of Bilateral Education agreement with
Russia, a scholarship initiative of the Nigerian government managed by
the Ministry of Education, which provides funding for undergraduate and
postgraduate studies in selected countries, accuse the federal
government of failing to keep their promise in paying their stipends,
which has been left unpaid since October 2015.
Meanwhile, one of the protesting students in his tweets claimed that
they were left in the cold to freeze for one hour thirty minutes before
the embassy officials came to address them, only for them to be told
that they didn’t come along with a written petition to the Federal
ministry of Education.
