President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has today signed into law the Student loan amendment bill.
Recall that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, Akintunde Sawyer, had announced the indefinite postponement of the scheme.
The postponement raised many concerns and questions as to the fidelity of the Tinubu led administration.
Reacting however, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, stated that final touches are being put in place to enable proper launch of the scheme which he described as the President’s flagship programme.
Onanuga disclosed that there will be a new date to launch the student loan scheme, it’s not forgotten.
“There are some things that need to be rearranged so that it can be launched properly. I think that’s what’s happening.”
“So the President is committed to it, you know it’s one of his flagship programmes and he wants to get it done as quickly as possible.” He explained
