The Federal Government has addressed recent misinformation regarding Nigerian students on scholarships in Morocco, labeling such claims as false and deliberately misleading.
The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, confirmed that all Nigerian students enrolled under the Bilateral Education Scholarship (BES) Programme prior to 2024 have received payments up to the 2024 fiscal year, in full compliance with Federal Government obligations. He noted that any temporary delays in outstanding disbursements are due to fiscal constraints and are being actively resolved through coordination between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance.
Dr. Alausa also emphasized that no new bilateral scholarship awards were made in October 2025 or afterward. Any documents or claims suggesting otherwise are unauthenticated and constitute deliberate attempts to misinform the public and undermine government policy.
The Ministry reassured Nigerians that the government remains committed to honoring its scholarship obligations and maintaining transparency in all educational initiatives.
