A Passionate Plea To The Government Of Rivers State

ATTENTION - GOVERNOR ROTIMI AMAECHI
CC - TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

We are students in universities across Europe and North America who are sponsored by the Rivers State Government through one of her Agencies, the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency.

We are facing dire challenges financially and otherwise. These challenges are as a result of our sponsors to fulfill their obligations to us, that is, to pay our school fees and to remit our maintenance allowances. For a lot of us, our universities have kicked us out due to non-payment of fees and some have been barred from the use of university facilities to study. 

Our situation is so bad that some of us have been threatened with deportation if action is not taken immediately to ameliorate our current predicament.

In addition, we have not been paid our maintenance allowances for 7-8 months and this has resulted in our inability to afford basic adequacies like shelter, warm clothing and food. In deed, some of us have been kicked out of our houses and have had to go through this cold season without warmth. This has put enormous strain on our physical and mental health.

Please Ma, help us publicise our situation and attract the attention of our Governor to our plight. We have started a petition on Change.com HERE and it has already received over a 100 signatures. I have attached the signatures as proof of this.

I trust you to do all that is in your power to help us and I hope you will not disappoint us in our time of need.

Regards,

Jaja Jasper Chinedum''.
