“I will Ensure That No Student Drops Out During My Presidency,” – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his dedication to preventing any student from dropping out of tertiary institutions due to financial constraints during his tenure.

He assured that his administration will prioritize providing essential resources to support educational institutions in fulfilling their responsibilities.

Speaking at the 33rd convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) in Ondo State, Tinubu, represented by Professor King-David Terna Yawe of the National Universities Commission (NUC), acknowledged the challenges within the education sector.

He highlighted the significance of the Student Loan Bill, which was promptly signed into law after his inauguration, as evidence of the government’s commitment to assisting students.

Tinubu stated, “My government will not shy away from its responsibilities in this area. We will ensure that educational institutions receive the necessary resources to effectively fulfill their statutory obligations.

As one of my initial actions as President of Nigeria, I signed the Student Loan Bill into law, translating this commitment into action. Under my leadership, as outlined in my manifesto, no student will be compelled to abandon their education due to an inability to pay tuition.”
