President Bola Tinubu has urged youths to take advantage of his administration’s student loan initiative.
The President made the call during a national broadcast on Sunday on the ongoing countrywide protest.
He claimed that by establishing the student loan plan, his administration demonstrated its dedication to young people.
“To date, N45.6 billion has already been processed for payment to students and their respective institutions.
“I encourage more of our vibrant youth population to take advantage of this opportunity,” said the President.
Recall that the President had said, on July 17, when he inaugurated the student loan scheme that it was a tool to fight poverty.
He said the student loan scheme aligned with his administration’s commitment to inclusiveness and assured sufficient funding to sustain the programme.
“Democracy is all about inclusiveness. Our target is to build a society on successful inclusiveness,” he said.
