Some angry Lagos State students have threatened to stage a huge protest over non-payment of bursary, according to a source.
GoldenNewsNg reports that the students under the aegis of the National Union of Lagos State Concerned Students threatened to shut down the Third Mainland Bridge on Monday if the state government fails to pay their bursary on or before Sunday.
The 11.8km long bridge is the longest in the country.
The students’ group stated that this is the second time the students would experience such a delay in the payment of their bursary under the state administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
They further accused the Executive Council of the National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS) of not helping the matter, claiming that NULASS executives have forgotten their mandates to other students after being bribed by the government.
This was stated in a statement released by the group on Wednesday and made available to SaharaReporters on Thursday.
The statement titled, “Bursary: We Will Shut Down Third Mainland Bridge On Monday”, reads: “The National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS) was founded by a group of patriotic Nigerians of Lagos State extraction at the premises of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in 1967.
