President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the national student loan amendment bill into law.
While addressing the media after signing the bill on Wednesday, “Tinubu thanked the national assembly for their expeditious handling of the student loan bill considering the children of Nigeria that education is the tool to fight poverty effectively, we are determined to ensure education is given the proper attention necessary including skill development programmes.
“This is to ensure that no one, no matter how poor their background is, is excluded from quality education and opportunity to build their future,” he partly added.
Mr. President also added that in the past, students have dropped out of school which is no more because the student loans can be accessed by Nigerians no matter their background.
