Senegalese students struggle after grant payment delays

Entrance to the University of Dakar.

Senegalese student Fallou, 26, loitered near one of the restaurants of the University of Dakar, hoping that one of his friends would give him a luncheon voucher so he could eat.

A meal ticket only costs 100 CFA francs ($0.16), but even at that price Fallou, who did not want to give his surname, cannot afford it.
