Student Issues Raised In Meeting With Nigerian High Commissioner - Abu Zahar

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 (Bernama) -- The issue of Nigerian students cheated by local private universities and social problems frequently caused by these students in Malaysia were among the topics discussed in a meeting between Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang and Nigerian High Commissioner to Malaysia, Bello Shehu Ringim, here Thursday.


The hour-long meeting took place at Abu Zahar's office at Parliament building here.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Abu Zahar said he was told that the Nigerian government viewed these issues seriously, including the public's negative perception towards Nigerian students.

"Bello said their government was serious in trying to solve these issues, and added that one of the factors for the social problems was that some private universities failed to prepare a comprehensive study timetable.

"This resulted in plenty of free time for the students, giving them room to engage in social ills," he said.
