Student Loan Will Commence In Nigeria On This Date

President Bola Tinubu on Monday declared that the era of industrial actions in the nation’s academic environment has come to an end.

The President made the declaration in an address at the 29th edition of the annual Nigerian Economic Summit, anchored by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

Tinubu also disclosed that his administration’s Students Loans Scheme will commence in January 2024.

“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 a Consumer Credit Scheme which will have to come to effect as soon as possible.

“We cannot talk about anti-corruption when you have to look for cash to buy a car, when there’s no mortgage for homeownership,” he said.
