Read Time:2 Minute, 4 Second
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has demanded transparency in implementing the student loan scheme.
The nation’s top student body demanded that the federal government designate people with unwavering honesty and skill to supervise loan disbursement.
According to NANS, doing this would assure both the scheme’s durability and success.
The call was made by Pedro Obi, the National President of NANS, in a statement that was provided to reporters on Friday in Abeokuta.
NANS also called for urgent action on the alleged deportation of Nigerian students from Teesside University in the UK for defaulting on their school fees.
NANS insisted that the federal government must take immediate and decisive action to protect the rights and futures of students abroad.
While commending President Bola Tinubu-led administration for initiating the student loan scheme, NANS called on the government to engage all relevant stakeholders in the implementation of the scheme.
According to the students’ body, the loan, if properly implemented, would not only alleviate the financial burdens faced by many students and their families but is also capable of ending the mass exodus of Nigerian students outside the country for studies.
The statement read: “To ensure the success and integrity of the student loan scheme, we urge the federal government to prioritize transparency and accountability in the disbursement of the loans, and this must be done by engaging all relevant stakeholders.
