The Federal Government, through the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. Ben Bem Goong, has advised candidates and the general public to disregard a fake Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA) scholarship list currently circulating on social media.
Why the Circulated List is False
A viral social media post titled "JUSTICE TO ONE IS JUSTICE TO ALL", allegedly written by a Nigerian abroad and addressed to the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, claimed that the 2020 BEA scholarship awards were lopsided, alleging that 19 northern states received only 21 slots while 17 southern states received 70 slots.
Responding to the viral post, Mr. Goong described the circulated list as completely fabricated and aimed at embarrassing the Federal Ministry of Education or defrauding unsuspecting scholarship applicants.
Status of the Official 2020 BEA Scholarship List
The Ministry explained that the conclusion of the 2020 BEA scholarship awards has been delayed due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Once the selection process is officially concluded, the authentic list of successful candidates will be published directly on the Federal Ministry of Education's official website.
