Relations and Protocol Unit, NIDCOM, made reference to a letter written
to the Hon Minister of the Niger Delta Sen. Godswill Akpabio, dated
June 18, 2020, NIDC/001/20/1 drawing attention to the plight of the
students, and urging the NDDC who are directly responsible for the
Students’ scholarships.to pay. She added that the Commision counts on
the Minister’s assurances that all outstanding payments to affected
Students will be made .
At the moment there have been persistent calls by the Students for
urgent intervention.
While deadline for payment of the fees of some of the students have
expired or about to expire , non payment of their allowances have
turned many of them to virtually become beggars

The NIDCOM CHAIRMAN once again appeal to the Niger Delta Ministry and
the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to intervene urgently and
promptly too.
