Tinubu’s action came after the announcement of a temporary suspension of the commencement of the student loan system. The law was put in place to allow Nigerian students in tertiary institutions to access low-interest loans to complete their studies.
Following the bill’s discussion, Senate President Godswill Akpabio sent it to the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND so that they may continue working on the legislation and provide a report in a week.
The new act will enhance the implementation of the Higher Education Student Loan Scheme, by addressing challenges related to the management structure of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELF), applicant eligibility requirements, loan purpose, funding sources and disbursement and repayment procedures.
Through interest-free loans from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, which was established under the Act to offer education for all Nigerians, the Bill aims to make higher education easily accessible to impoverished Nigerians.
