Protesting Amnesty scholarship students of Admiralty University in Delta State on Monday.

Photo: Ochei MatthewHundreds of Amnesty students on scholarship at the Admiralty University, Delta State, under the Federal Government Amnesty programme, protested on Friday over the N25,000 training allowance being paid them, as against the N70,000 approved by the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

One of the students who spoke on behalf of others, Peter Khama, said that the students in the last two weeks have had a series of issues concerning their N70,000 training allowance that has been reduced to N25,000. “There are other students in various schools under the amnesty programme receiving N70,000. Why is ours different?” he asked.
