The federal government has said it is processing the stipends of Nigerian students studying on the Bilateral Education Agreement scholarships.

Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman said this at a briefing ahead of the 2024 Commonwealth Day on Thursday, March 7, in Abuja.

The scholars, who are studying in Russia, Morocco, Algeria, China, Hungary, and a few other countries, said they have not been paid their stipends for the past six to eight months.

The scholars, enrolled in various institutions abroad, said they have endured financial strain due to the delay in receiving their stipends

But speaking on Thursday, the minister assured the scholars that their stipends would be paid.

“Their allowance is being processed,” the minister said.

Mamman said the federal government was investing in innovative teaching methods for a sustainable future.

“The Federal Government is investing in innovative teaching methods, supporting teachers to embrace technology, and promoting a culture of lifelong learning to enable all in the attainment and sustainability of a more equitable and prosperous future for all nationwide,” the minister said.

He urged the state ministries of education to participate in the 2024 Commonwealth Day.

“In furtherance of the aforementioned theme, the ministry is imploring all the thirty-six (36) states ministries of education and Federal Capital Territory Education Board to commemorate the Day on 11th March, 2024 as traditionally scheduled for the commemoration event every year.

“This will provide an enabling opportunity to promote democracy, human rights, cultural diversity, cooperation, equality, and mutual respect for nation-building,” the minister added.
