Students on Government Scholarship at the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology -Sierra Leone have spent good fifteen (15) months without attending classes due to the endless impasse between the Government of Sierra Leone and the Limkokwing University.
The situation is one that has affected the educational pursuits of the affected students, about over 1000 of them, whom some say are now in total hopelessness.
From what this medium gathered, all efforts made by the affected students including engaging the relevant authorities have so far proven futile.
It was stated further that the unfortunate situation has caused severe problems for female students who are said to be the most vulnerable victims of circumstance.
From what these frustrated and desperate female students intimated ,when the converged in front of the Presidential Lodge on Wednesday, 4th & 12th November, 2020, they were there with the objective of appealing to the President and the First Lady, Fatima Bio, to show what they have been going one of which is going through a lot of provocation from colleagues in other universities.
They furthered that they are now in limbo not knowing what will be the way forward.
The students also expressed optimism that they believe that seeing the President will certainly set the stage to get out of the quagmire.
They also used the opportunity to appeal to Civil Society Organisations, 50-50 group, the Inter Religious Council, Humanitarian Organisations, Women Organisations , the Media and the People of Sierra Leone to come to their plight saying they are really hopeless and disgruntled over their gridlock as they want to return back to campus.
