No Student Will Drop Out Of Higher Institutions While I’m President- Tinubu

Amid the rising cost of school fees in Nigeria’s tertiary institutes, President Bola Tinubu has assured of his commitment towards ensuring that no student drops out over inability to pay their fees.

Tinubu said his administration would ensure educational institutions get the necessary resources to carry out their responsibilities.

He spoke on Saturday during the 33rd convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) in Ondo State.

Represented by Professor King-David Terna Yawe of the National University Commission (NUC), Tinubu acknowledged the education sector’s difficulties.

He pointed to the Student Loan Bill, signed into law shortly after his inauguration, as a testament to his government’s commitment to supporting students.

Tinubu states, “My government will not shirk its responsibilities in this area.

We will guarantee that educational institutions receive the necessary resources to carry out their statutory responsibilities effectively. One of my first actions as President of Nigeria was to sign the Student Loan Bill into law to put this into action.

“Under my leadership, and as I have outlined in my manifesto, no student will be forced to drop out of school due to an inability to pay tuition.”
