NUC Short-changed Northerners In Awarding Head of state Scholarships, States ACF

By SaharaReporters, New York
The Arewa Consultative Forum has accused the National Universities Commission (NUC) of short-changing the North in the disbursement of Nigeria’s presidential scholarship awards, which were announced this week.
In a statement issued by its spokesman, Anthon Sani, following a meeting in Kaduna today, the ACF said that the criteria used to select the candidates appeared designed to exclude those from the Northern states.
“It certainly enabled the NUC to ignore the national consensus on inclusiveness and balance of competing demands among groups and areas of the country,” the statement said.
It wondered why Oyo state, for example has 52 candidates
