PHOTO NEWS: Tinubu meets Jim Ovia, budget DG, Tanimu at Aso Villa
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday received Jim Ovia, founder of Zenith Bank and chairman of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The president also received Tanimu Kakubu Kurfi, director-general of the Budget Office of the Federation.
Our correspondent observed Ovia arriving at the State House at about 2:15 p.m., dressed in his signature black suit and red tie.
The purpose of the visit was not immediately disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
Ovia has chaired the NELFUND board since his appointment by Tinubu on April 26, 2024, barely three weeks after the president signed the Access to Higher Education Act (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Act into law, establishing the interest-free student loan scheme.
