Trainees under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training programme at the Federal Polytechnic Daura, Katsina State, have expressed concern over the delay in the payment of their training allowances and grants by the Federal Ministry of Education.
Some of the trainees, who spoke with The PUNCH in Kano on Tuesday, lamented the prolonged delay, saying there had been no official explanation for the non-payment.
One of the trainees, Abdullahi Mohammad, said the silence surrounding the unpaid allowances and grants had left many participants frustrated, especially after spending personal funds throughout the six-month training.
“They promised to give us allowances, a grant and certificate after graduation. But none of these was given to us,” Mohammad said.
