He noted that a technical committee has been set up to update the data of the students for onward payment of their bursaries, adding that the committee is expected to submit its report within the week.

“The Governor is passionate about education and has promised to release the monies in tranches for the payment of the students’ bursary allowance.
“So far, the Governor has released N50 million for payment of bursaries and N5 million for taking off. Once we get the data ready, I will approach him to get approval for us to commence payment.
“The committee is already in the field collating data of students across tertiary institutions and they are expected to submit their report this week,” he said.
