BREAKING: Tinubu announces January take-off date for student loan
President Bola Tinubu has announced January as the take-off date for the Federal Government students loan programme.
Tinubu who was speaking at the 29th edition of the annual Nigerian Economic Summit, anchored by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, assured that the era of strikes in the nation’s academic environment has come to an end.
The president noted the need to immediately initiate a sustainable credit scheme, which he said will aid an effective anti-corruption campaign.
He said, “By January 2024, the new Students Loan Programme must commence. To the future of our children and students we’re saying no more strikes.
“There must be consumer credit, scheme will have to come to effect as soon as possible. I thank my team and my colleagues to build this programme, develop it now. We cannot talk about anti-corruption when you have to look for cash to buy a car, when there’s no mortgage for homeownership.”
