No student will drop out of tertiary institutions due to financial constraints —Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu, has  pledged to prevent any student from dropping out of tertiary institutions due to financial constraints.

He promised to provide the necessary resources to educational institutions to enable them to carry out their responsibilities effectively.

Tinubu made this commitment during the 33rd convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) in Ondo State on Saturday.

Represented by Professor King-David Terna Yawe of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties facing the education sector.

He pointed to the Student Loan Bill signed into law shortly after his inauguration, as a testament to his government’s commitment to supporting students.

According to Tinubu, “My government will not shirk its responsibilities in this area.

“We will guarantee that educational institutions receive the necessary resources to effectively carry out their statutory responsibilities.

“One of my first actions as President of Nigeria was to sign the Student Loan Bill into law to put this into action.

“Under my leadership, and as I have outlined in my manifesto, no student will be forced to drop out of school due to an inability to pay tuition.”
