A number of Ghanaian medical students enrolled in Ukraine are in danger of being expelled because the government has not paid their monthly stipends.
Several of the students are struggling to pay for essentials since they haven’t gotten their stipend in several months.
The impacted students claim that despite repeated requests, the government has refused to provide their stipends.
- African leaders can’t remain mute about the conflict in Ukraine and Russia, according to the president of Congo.
- In the early phases of the counteroffensive, Ukraine announces additional victories.
One of the students, Seth Ofori Nyazu, told Citi News that the Ghanaian government had abandoned the final-year medical students who had chosen to remain in Ukraine following the conflict.
“The students took the risk and came to Ghana to try their luck when the war began, but they were sent back to their third and second years in Ukraine. The government promised that it would pay our fees and assured us that the fees would be paid.
“We have had many meetings, and we have proven that we are still in school and still attending lectures. The government promised us several times that it would pay, but we only realized that students in Ukraine had been removed from the list of students whose fees the government is paying.”
