At the beginning of January 2018, the Kano state government began to make a three hundred million Naira payment. It’s a scholarship for students of different universities and other higher education institutions in Nigeria. The scholarship benefits whould be paid to almost twenty-four thousand students.
Kano state scholarship board begins paying scholarships debt The State Scholarship Board’s Executive Secretary, Professor Fatima Umar notified the public about the payment at the information meeting with journalists in Kano.
The professor stated that mentioned payment is part of a debt left by the administration of previous years. The students did not receive scholarship benefits from 2011 to 2015.
Fatima Umar announced that payment is for 2013–2014 academic session. She said that Kano state scholarship board had already paid the overdue stipend in the amount of three hundred and sixty million Naira for 2012–2013. Twenty-four thousand and nine hundred one students got their money. Based on her words, the payment was made to the Kano state natives in fifty-five higher education institutions countrywide.
The professor marked that Nigerian domestic students had not been receiving the stipend from 2011 to 2015. The administration of the previous years didn’t pay throughout its term. Such actions caused an enormous debt for the present KSSB administration.
Fatima Umar underlined that a student might not receive the payment for the following reasons:
1. A student has indicated an invalid account number;
2. A student didn’t provide the Bank Verification Number;
3. The account was inactive.
We advise you to double check everything and take steps to avoid misunderstandings with the payment. We hope this information was helpful to you.
