Bayelsa state government has constituted a seven-man committee to ensure the successful implementation of bursary payment for students of the state origin in institutions of higher learning across the country.
Chairman of the committee, Mr. Ogbuebite Jonathan said the state government approved the stoppage of payment of bursary due to complain of inconveniences and to prevent fraud in the payment system. He noted that the new bursary payment system will be done through banks and via the internet with each undergraduate student to receive 15,000 naira, Post graduate students, 80, 000 naira while PHD students are to receive 120,000 naira.
The chairman who said students of Monotechnics, Medical students and physically challenged students will also be beneficiaries of the payment, attributed the delay of payment to non-compliance by the Registry of various institutions to release list of students and the tedious verification exercise.
