“I must also sincerely commend and appreciate the Nigerian Students and youth-friendly President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for keeping to one of his campaign promises by approving and making available this student loan scheme which is of high essence to relieve vulnerable students burdens of their school fees payments and having easy access to funding.
