Ajimobi, introduce this scheme for poor students

Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi

GOVERNOR Abiola Ajimobi, during a recent programme at the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), told the people of the state how he took a loan from the United States   government to pay his tuition fees when he was in the university. This was good news coming  from the governor.

The United States government should be commended for introducing a system whereby students obtain loans to fund their education and then pay up after graduating. There are many youths in secondary school and universities whose parents cannot afford to pay their tuition fees.

Some have even left school. The ‘one million boys’ who are terrorising Oyo State probably had no means to go to school.

I want to urge Senator Ajimobi to introduce the loan system for needy students. There is no better time to do this than now.

Governor Ajimobi, who described what the American government did to him as the best thing, could ask wealthy indigenes of Oyo State home and abroad to donate money to actualise the scheme. Even the international community will him due recognition if such a scheme goes into operation.
