House Committee Cautions Nigerians On Seeking Admission Into Cyprus Universities!

Following the gruesome murder of two Nigerians studying in the Cyprus International University, Nicosia, North Cyprus, at different times last year, the House Committee on Diaspora has cautioned prospective Nigerian students not  to respond to moves by  the authorities of the school to persuade  them to patronise the university.

Two Nigerian students,  20 year old,  Gabriel Soriwei and Stanley Oteimo were individually killed by a drunk female driver and an indigenous rival, who has a quarrel over a girl friend with the latter in July and August respectively last year..

A statement by the House committee chairperson, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, drew the attention of Nigerians to the fact that the CIU authorities despite the bad way in which they and the country handled the extirpation of the students lives are now in Nigeria where they held a seminar at Rockview Hotel, Abuja on 14th January 2014, to attract Nigerian students to their university.

According to the statement, the CIU team are on their way  to Kaduna, Port Harcourt, and Uyo, carefully avoiding “Benin and Bayelsa because the late Soriwei was from Benin and Stanley was from Bayelsa State."

"From all indications, studying in this university, CIU is not safe in particular and Nicosia, North Cyprus in general, is also dangerous for our students," Dabiri-Erewa noted, stressing that with the exception of Turkey, North Cyprus is not recognised by Nigeria and all other countries in the world.
