President Bola Tinubu says the implementation of the student loan initiative will commence in January 2024.
The independent Mirror reported that Tinubu, who was speaking at Abuja during the National Economic Summit 2023 today, assured Nigerian students that the era of incessant strikes will be a thing of the past.
In celebration of June 12 this year, President Tinubu signed into law the student loan bill, a promise he made during his campaign.
The bill, sponsored by the Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, now Chief of Staff to the President, provides easy access to higher education for indigent Nigerians through interest-free loans from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund.
