Turaki-led PDP meets UK High Commission, raises concerns over alleged Nigeria’s shrinking opposition space

The Ghana High Commission has announced that it will proceed with a verification and oath-taking exercise for UK PhD scholars sponsored by the Ghana Scholarships Authority (GSA). This decision comes despite opposition from the scholarship beneficiaries, who argue that the exercise is discriminatory and unnecessary. The High Commissioner, Sabah Zita Benson, defended the requirement, citing provisions within the scholarship bonds signed by the students, which stipulate their commitment to return to Ghana after completing their studies.

Benson emphasized that the oath-taking exercise is aimed at reaffirming the students' commitment and ensuring they comply with their contractual obligations, ultimately benefiting taxpayers.
