Four Nigerian students in the United Kingdom have tested positive for Coronavirus. The students are beneficiaries of the 2019 Niger Delta Development Commission Scholarship Programme.
Information gathered was that the students were abandoned in the UK for eight months by the NDDC under Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Godswill Akpabio, and the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The students were said to have contracted the virus while moving from one part of the UK to another to find means of survival.
“The students are currently being quarantined at one of the NHS centres in their neighbourhood,” their colleague stated.
The identity and treatment centres of the Nigerians are kept hidden by authorities due to the Data Protection Act 2008. The students are appealing to the Nigerian Government for immediate intervention.
