SIBC News understands the delay of allowances caused students to resort to breadfruits for survival while waiting, news to which the Opposition Leader also issued a call to the government to quickly address.

He said such delays of allowance payments affects the welfare of student's which could lead to academic failure, adding that it is time the government looks into this seriously.
