In a heartfelt appeal, a visually impaired widow, alongside over 600 students of the ESM University in Benin Republic, have urged President Bola Tinubu to reconsider and reverse the recent ban on the institution’s certificate in Nigeria. This desperate plea, shared on The Punch Newspaper’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle, reflects the anxiety and frustration of students and their families who now face an uncertain future due to the ban.
The affected students, who have invested time, effort, and finances into their education, are now left stranded, uncertain about the validity of their academic qualifications within Nigeria. For many, including the widow whose story underscores the human impact of the policy, the ban threatens not just their academic dreams but their entire livelihoods.
Parents have joined their children in this fervent call for the Nigerian government to reconsider its stance. They argue that the decision has far-reaching implications, not only disrupting the lives of these students but also potentially diminishing Nigeria’s educational ties with neighboring countries.
This appeal to President Tinubu highlights a growing concern among Nigerian students pursuing education abroad, especially in institutions that may not be recognized by Nigerian authorities. The students and their families hope that the government will heed their call, allowing them to continue their education and secure their futures.
