Due to the economic downturn rocking the Nigerian state, the leadership of Rivers state has ordered all students on scholarship abroad to return home and conclude their education in Nigeria.

Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, has asked all indigenes of the state who are on scholarship abroad to return to Nigeria to continue their scholarship programmes in any University in the country as the state is currently facing financial crisis and can't continue to sponsor them.
This directive is contained in a letter sent out to the students early this month. The affected students are those that are not in final year as all final year students will be allowed to complete their programmes at their various universities.
