FAZAMSS Commends Governor Dauda Lawal for Paying ₦163 Million Backlog for Crescent University Students After 10 Years of Waiting

The Federated Association of Zamfara State Students (FAZAMSS), the apex umbrella body of all Zamfara State students across tertiary institutions, wishes to express its profound appreciation to His Excellency, Dr. Dauda Lawal, Executive Governor of Zamfara State, for approving and releasing the long-awaited ₦163 million backlog payment owed to 149 Zamfara State–sponsored students at Crescent University, Abeokuta.

This historic gesture comes after a decade of uncertainty and hardship, during which affected students and their families endured immense emotional and financial struggles due to unpaid tuition fees inherited from past administrations.

The payment, which commenced in August 2025 and will be fully completed by the end of October 2025, stands as a landmark achievement in restoring the dignity of Zamfara students and renewing faith in government-sponsored education.

FAZAMSS recognizes this action as a clear demonstration of Governor Dauda Lawal’s sincerity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to rescuing the educational sector of Zamfara State from years of neglect. His administration’s proactive approach to settling inherited liabilities reflects true leadership grounded in justice and service to humanity.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to Professor Rasheedah Liman, the Executive Secretary of the Zamfara State Scholarship Board, whose discipline, transparency, and dedication have been instrumental in achieving this milestone. Her hands-on supervision and open-door policy have redefined the scholarship system, creating new confidence among students statewide.

This development has rekindled hope across the student community — not only among those studying outside the state but also those within our local institutions. We are therefore optimistic and encouraged by signals that Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration is also working toward reinstating the Local Scholarship Scheme to ensure that every Zamfara student, regardless of location, receives fair support to pursue academic excellence.

FAZAMSS, on behalf of all Zamfara State students home and abroad, pledges continued cooperation and partnership with the government to ensure transparency, accountability, and sustained progress in the management of student welfare.

Once again, we salute His Excellency Dr. Dauda Lawal for this bold and humane intervention and reaffirm our commitment to supporting every policy that uplifts the educational standard of Zamfara State.

Signed:
Muhammad Musa
National Assistant Secretary General
