Student loan scheme begins January, says Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu on Monday affirmed that the student loan scheme he approved on June 12, 2023, will kick off in January 2024.

He also promised that episodes of industrial action by academic staff unions of tertiary institutions would become a thing of the past.

“By January 2024, the new student loan programme must commence. To the future of our children and students, we’re saying no more strikes,” Tinubu said when he declared open the 29th session of the annual Nigeria Economic Summit at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

The NES is anchored by the non-profit think-tank, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group.
