The Federal Government is set to fulfill its promise as it requests for a list of all students studying Education in Nigerian Universities, based on the promise made last year.
In early October, Sonny Echono, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, read out a speech that said:
“Undergraduate students of B.Ed./B.A. Ed/BSc. Ed in Public institutions are to receive stipends of N75,000.00 per semester while NCE students will get N50,000.00 as stipends per semester”
This news was however taken as a bluff by most students as they lamented that it wasn’t the first time the Federal Government made such a promise without fulfilling any. The news today came as a shock as the Federal Government is putting into effect measures to fulfill its promise.

The letter titled “REQUEST FOR THE LIST OF ALL STUDENTS STUDYING EDUCATION IN NIGERIAN PUBLIC TERTIARY INSTITUTION” was sent by L.M. Faruk, the Ag Director. And it reads in part:
“In view of the above, I am directed to request the Vice-Chancellor to urgently furnish the Commission with the comprehensive list of all students studying Education programs at the undergraduate level in your university using the attached format. The list should be submitted in both hard and soft copies on or before 30th August 2022”.
