Great.

But as with other things "Nigerian", you'll find that corruption will frustrate this policy.

Soon you'll start hearing that people were asked to pay some sorta bribe before they can receive the loan or that they were requested to bring a referee who kist be a senator or governor.

Okay..but you believe it is a good policy...so let's start from somewhere.... appreciate the move and criticize constructively... don't be forever pessimistic

On ASIWAJU's mandate I stand ♾️

You come dey talk like say Tinubu put rope for you neck to borrow the money by fire by force.

So what stop Tinubu from solving unemployment issue and sustaining the student loan too? Do one need to stop before the other Abi you just love hating for hating sake? You well so?

Sometimes I think some Nigerians are actually mentally handicapped coz I find it weird that some people are actually criticizing this good effort from Tinubu.

This is the problem with some of you, too sensational in a way that defies logic. Don't sugar-coat policies, interrogate it's feasibility. What immediate problems does the policy solve for the students for the duration of it's life- cycle? This is the same way people celebrated school feeding problem and other interventions that ended up creating more debts for our country. Na wa for una o. PBAT is simply too hasty, putting carts before horses. Mark my words, he'll get trapped.

You know what. I am actually happy that you are unhappy because the president is making progress.

It begs believe that someone is actually saying that PBAT is hasty So the president is hasty in solving problem But Buhari was too slow in solving problem

Why not kukuma focus on the quest of searching for your god's stolen manh.ood

DaveJacuzie:

Loans are not for very poor people, that's the truth...even in developed countries. You have to have a good credit rating/history. Nobody loans money to someone who is not likely to pay back. It is a loan not a scholarship.

Tell me one developed country that youn need Civil Servant above Level 12 or Lawyer with at least 10 years post-call experience) to get studen loan. In the UK , you pay back loans when you are working.

braine:
Nice.


Tinubu has done better in 3 weeks than Bubu in 4 years.

But it was a bill passed by National Assembly shortly before Buhari left. It was a Buhari's government idea. Tinubu just inherited the bill already passed by National Assembly and signed the bill into law. Let's not over hype Tinubu like some of you over hyped Buhari and refused to allow constructive criticism of that failed government.

Ezigboune:
This is a wrong move from the president

Honestly, my girlfriend who is an American citizen is asking how will they pay up the loan when there's no availability of jobs

MorataFC:
Good news,
chai,may God forgive those of us who don't believe in you.

What is this one saying? Student loan will plunge a lot of people into debt, most graduates in this country are not doing well, how will the students who access this loan pay back after graduating? If he truly wants to help, he should make education free just like Awolowo did. Nigeria has the money.

Family earning less than that 500k will qualify.

If you earn like 1m annually, you have no business borrowing loan for your kid school fees in public universities. So government don’t need to waste resources on you.

I don’t know how much Federal universities pay now, but during my period, my school fees no reach 15-30k annually. I used 5 years for school, that’s an average 150-200k for example.

If I had taken the loan, I would be required to pay 10% of my salary after 2 years of NYSC. Let’s say I earn 80k monthly, that’s like 8k per month.

That means in 25 payments of 2 years, I can pay back the student loan.

I don’t think it’s bad. It make sense.

Oga do you know how much 1m annually is? That's less than 100k per month and with the current exchange rate and according to UN poverty index, such a family is poor.
Given that most federal universities now charge been 40k to 60k school fees and states 100k to 200k, minus other fees, for a family of four, who pay a rent of 150k per annum, minus feeding and other basic necessities, don't you think they should qualify for such help as well? How many staff in govt service earn 40k a month anyways apart from those in the state employ?
The net of people the bill aims to reach is too small in my opinion given the realities of Nigeria's economy.
Why do you think we have so many girls doing runs in polytechnic and universities? The number one factor is poverty.
Secondly, how exactly do you expect a level 12 civil servant who is struggling with his own fees to sign as a guarantor for someone earning 40k?
It's just not realistic.

This submission shows exactly what you represent. I think you should welcome and appreciate the new development. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done well in fulfilling his promise in no mean time, and this is very critical because some people do not believe it can be materialized, such as Rufai of Arise.

Was your mandate stolen?

Peppysco:


You should have read the article before making your comment. The government isn't borrowing to fund it rather, it made provisions for funding through 1% deduction from taxes and other levies accruing to the government, 1% deduction from profits from the sale of crude oil and other mineral resources and also deductions from grants and aids received. So, the government isn't borrowing to fund the Bill.

See this one , you seem to be a learner.
The revenue generated in this country, has it been enough to fund our national budget?
is it not an open secret we borrow to fund our budget.
Where would the government source the funding from when there has not been increased in revenue ?

Ezigboune:
This is a wrong move from the president

It's not a wrong move. It's a very good move to help students having problem paying their school fees.
Problem is how they would finance it cos Buhari put Nigeria in debt to the tune of about 100 trillion

Ok

Oya tell us the right move oooo.

We know people like you....

We are waiting for you to tell us the right move o...

How ? When many students use garri in writing exams, this should help in those situations.

Ezigboune:

it will only translate to more children dropping out of sch... I'm crying right now

hansomb:

How ? When many students use garri in writing exams, this should help in those situations.

it's a step towards university autonomy, a sch will be at liberty to dictate it's tuition fees, Federal schs will now start charging like private schs... A lot of people will apply for d loans and of its dis Nigeria I know.... Preferential treatment will be given to some

A wrong move.... What about a move to reduce rate of unemployment first?

Tribal sentiments aside, I think this Tinubu of a guy has good plans for Nigeria.

What of noun students, are they allowed too?

I mean open university?

Peter Obi can never rule Nigeria, Tinubu will govern this country for 8 year, it'll now return to northern Nigeria. That's 16 year.

Atiku and Obi wasting their fund for lawyers in futility.

Go get sense
