“We are determined to ensure that education is given the proper attention necessary for the country, including skills development programs,” President Tinubu stated.

“This is to ensure that no one, no matter how poor their background is, is excluded from quality education and the opportunity to build their future.”

President Tinubu emphasized the importance of the student loan scheme in addressing the issue of students dropping out of college due to financial constraints.

He assured Nigerians that the government has put in place measures to streamline the application process, making it accessible to all Nigerian citizens.

“We are here because we are all educated and were helped. In the past, we have seen a lot of our children drop out of college and give up the opportunity. That is no more,” President Tinubu affirmed.

“The standard and the control are there for you to apply, no matter who you are, as long as you are a Nigerian citizen.”
