The National Assembly, on Wednesday, passed the Student Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill, 2024.

This comes after separate considerations by both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the report of the Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFund.

President Bola Tinubu in a letter written to the Senate last Thursday sought the repeal of the existing law and submitted a fresh bill to be passed into law.

This request came a day after the announcement of a temporary suspension of the commencement of the student loan scheme which would allow students of tertiary institutions access interest-free loans to complete their studies.

Tinubu had in June 2023 signed the Student Loan Bill into law to enable Nigerian students to access loans at interest-free rates.

The Senate, thereafter, passed for second reading, a Bill for an Act to Repeal the Students Loan and Access to Higher Education Act 2023 and enact the Student Loans Access to Higher Education Bill 2024.

The student loan scheme was scheduled to take off last Thursday, but the Presidency decided to make some amendments to the bill before implementation which the Senate gave expeditious consideration in plenary.

The chairman of the committee, Senator Muntari Dandutse (APC, Katsina South), presented the report during plenary.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, had last week referred the bill to the Dandutse’s committee for further legislative work and to report back in one week.

The amendments sought to the Act by President Bola Tinubu, according to an explanatory memorandum made available to reporters, included the removal of the family income threshold as a condition for applying for the student loan.

It also removed the guarantor requirement so that students can apply for and receive loans subject to application and identity verification guidelines as provided by the Fund.

Besides, student applicants can no longer be disqualified based on their parent’s loan history.

It established a justice and fairness provision, mandating the board to ensure a minimum national spread of loans approved and disbursed in each financial year.

On repayment of loans, the bill indicated that the repayment shall begin as soon as the beneficiary becomes employed in any capacity.

According to the brief, the Fund shall not initiate loan recovery efforts until two years after the completion of the National Youth Service Corps programme.

It stated that a beneficiary may request an extension of enforcement action by the fund by providing a sworn affidavit indicating that he is not employed in any capacity and is not receiving any income.

It pointed out that any person who provides a false statement to the Fund under this section is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for three years.

It also makes provision for loan forgiveness in the event of death or acts of God causing inability to repay.

The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reiterated the call to Nigerians, to get more involved in agricultural production, saying “We can grow our food. Everybody should grow something”.

She spoke when she received the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed in her office on Wednesday at the State House, Abuja.

The First Lady noted, that the various interventions of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), especially in the areas of agriculture, empowerment, education, health and social welfare, were to complement the efforts of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

"The President has made the right decisions. These decisions will help us build a Nigeria that is more respected. We should be more accountable as a people as regards our resources”.

She emphasised the need to inspire the youths to think appropriately about the nation.

She said, “We have to inspire them to think Nigeria first before any State”, adding that this necessitated her, through the RHI, to organise the #ONE NIGERIA/Unity Fabric.

“Youths between 15 and 25 years will design the fabric depicting Nigeria, not just their states or tribes. The prize money is huge”, she said.

On the issue of Internally Displaced Persons, Senator Tinubu said the RHI had commenced the monthly food outreach program to the IDPs and persons with disabilities.

She said, “I am not being deterred. I will continue to do all I can for the people”.

In her remarks earlier, Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), Aisha Mohammed, explained that the organisation was looking forward to the country committing more funds to youth, women and girls.

“We need your voice to what the UN is doing with women empowerment, girls, poverty alleviation, education and the rest,” she said, expressing readiness of the UN, to partner with the RHI.

The visit was also an opportunity to introduce the new Resident Coordinator of the UN in Nigeria, Mohamed Fall to the first lady.

tctrills:
It's happening here in Nigeria. Government forces and razing homes and shooting at the innocent but we prefer to stand with Gaza.
We are not flooding the internet with posts of Okuama. No one is standing with the innocent people of the community.
The average Nigerian has no sense of priority.
To many, Gaza is more important than a poor community in Bayelsa.

Why would they talk, useless set of people

Dr Tunji Ojo should not be changed.

Which of the president's policies would he support?

Gossiphub:
The same political alliance beggars and sudden lovers of the south-south are posting these tweets 🤦🏾‍♂️. Go to their pages and see that they're all Tinubu Supporters.

Do these Tinubu Supporters know they are calling in the Nigeria military to kill innocent people? They have started deleting their posts after goofing.

This same people were all mute when bandits brought down a helicopter and killed our gallant soldiers? The military only mourned and said they will go after the bandits. Why are Tinubu Supporters this wicked and calling for the razing of a South South community?

Yes, what the criminals did to the ambushed soldiers is wrong. But does two wrongs make a right?

Rest in Peace to our gallant soldiers.

But you de support Palestine over Israel, but here you de say wipe out Ijaws people, without investigation, two communities fighting and nobody from the communities have been killed but soldiers that went for peace got killed, there's a lot happening there that we are not aware of by the time the truth would come out these your gallant soldiers go run 😂

Jakumo:
This is a major event that will trigger massive retaliations from the military that will affect every living thing within 10 miles of where that deadly ambush of Nigerian soldiers occurred. I pity the occupants of any villages in that area because they are now on course to witness unbridled brutality when they least expect it.

The ones they kill in the North how many times have they retilated. They should look for the killers rather than go after innocent people.

dreamxhaser:
You can't fvk with the government

They should go and fuvk with bandits up north and arrest the kidnappers, Lilly levered military

We are yet to see the party hierarchy supporting shaibu ,who is beating the drum he is dancing to.

He is beating and dancing at the same time

SonOfDSoil01:
; Datti has no level abeg, someone that couldn’t win is ward as a vice presidential candidate and though not a fan of FFk, but aleast we know him to be a former minister of the federal republic

So how then was able to win to become a senator? Was he appointed or elected

SonOfDSoil01:
what level does Datti have? A paperweight politician😂 who couldn’t win is ward for his gbajue master, I bet you a lot of people don’t even know him not until the last election, I guess he should thank mr bitter obi Pandora for that😂

He is never and would never be at the same level with FKK, he was was a former senator has a thriving university, so he is not in the same level with FKK who has not contested for a counselorship position in his live is running his mouth,

Not a fan of Tinubu but as a well brought up child I respect my elders irrespective of our ideology and that's what Datti has just proved.

Please not just warning, back charge them, and those your supervisors are already compromised, get new ones they must stick to the design and specifications if not the road would not last.

And all these bad contractors should be blacklisted if they continue like this, we need to get it right for once, go look at the roads done by Julius Berger in Akwa ibom state by the Talkative Akpabio they're will standing well and fine. So if Julius Berger is the only company give them the job.

adamusuleiman1:
As shared on FFK's twitter handle

Is there anything wrong with it? Tinubu in age is older than him, so what about him bowing to great him, Fani Kayode, you can never get to the level of Datti so talk from now till tomorrow Tinubu would never recommend you even for a councillor ship position.

Sunday2021:
Before nko? Who is the governor of Lagos state since 1999?
I have never seen foolish people like these agbados. One man is ruling you for more than 30years yet they claimed to be educated. You can only find this in a clan of illiterates.

Seyi should be governor and Remi deputy governor, make we rest 😄
