President Tinubu of Nigeria Signs Students Loan Bill into Law
For the students in Nigeria, this is unquestionably wonderful news. The Students Loan Bill has been signed into law by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was revealed to reporters in Abuja by the President’s media team, led by Mr. Dele Alake, a member of the Presidential Strategic Team.
Alake said that the new law is a fulfillment of one of President Tinubu’s election pledges. Alake was joined by other members of the media team, including Tunde Rahman, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, and Permanent Secretary, of the Ministry of Education, David Adejoh.
When asked if the new law would not lead to an increase in school fees, Alake responded that the two issues had nothing to do with one another and that the law’s main goal was to assist poor pupils in receiving an education in the nation.
“We are very happy to announce to you that today, just a few minutes ago, the President His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, signed into law, the Student Loans Bill and that Student Loans Bill, you all know what it entails, what it connotes the meaning.
“This is the promise made during the presidential campaign by the then-candidate, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that he will bring back the student loans issue to the front burner and today, that promise he made has been kept, he has just signed that bill into law, which henceforth, will allow or enable our indigent students to access federal government loans to fund their educational pursuit or career and this is how it’s done in other developed climes all over the world,” he said.
Wow! It appears that the new president of Nigeria is not there to have fun. Since taking office, he hasn’t taken his foot off the gas. Is this the change that Nigerians have long demanded?
Is this the Renewed Hope we were promised?
