The Law Students Association of Nigeria (LAWSAN) has condemned with vehemence the alleged act of the Kogi State Governor in relation to the Kogi State Bursary 2019.

The position of LAWSAN, under the leadership of Emmanuel Nwobodo, was made known by Munir Shuaibu Ishaq, the National Director of the Directorate of Students’ Rights in a press statement dated 4th of December, 2019 and made available to TheNigeraLawyer (TNL) not LegalDeskNg .

Munir says within the period of April to November, 2018 the students of Kogi State origin were made to pay N650 as a processing fee yet till date the bursary Hasn’t been released neither have their monies been refunded by the Kogi State government despite repeated demands by the National Association of Kogi State Students.
