The students are beneficiaries of the 2019 Niger Delta Development Commission Scholarship Programme.
SaharaReporters had published 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.
A colleague of the affected students, who spoke with SaharaReporters, said, “The students are currently being quarantined at one of the NHS centres in their neighbourhood.
“They have been fending for themselves and now, they have no money as they can’t go out to work.
” 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.
Nigeria’s Coronavirus cases as at 2nd of April stands at 174, with 9 discharged and two deaths.
