Is it interest free?

Government should support the private sector thrive so they can generate enough jobs to get these kids engaged after school.

Loans without jobs na future lifetime enslavement oo

JoshTim:
Another sleepless night for IPOB. They prey on Nigeria's misfortune to sell their underperformed candidate

Corrinthians:
That's how you people condemn without making any effort to exploit an opportunity. When other people do and succeed, y'all start hating on them and blaming the innocent old woman in your village for casting a spell of misery over your lives.

You sound like a very lazy man.

Job is guaranteed after graduation in the US. Whether you work in your field or not. One thing is certain, job is guaranteed

So how will a student still jobless after five years of graduation in Nigeria be able to pay back the loan? Another program bound to be bankrupt and fail. If the government wants to give handouts to students, let it come out straight and say it’s student grants.

Kobonaire234:


We don't know yet...but i guess it would be like the USA...payment starts when you graduate...and a bit of yer salary is taken over two decades or more to pay back the loan.

nairadatti:
in this country that the unemployment rate is high ,I hope it's not gonna choke people who take these loans

FOOTSOLDIER1:
I am from Kano state and I can say it categorically that we Muslims from the North do not like Tinubu, he is a mahd man and extremist, we can't guarantee that he will protect our interests. We are now going to be Obidient

Hidewell:

Most Nigerians have criminal mindsets.

I hope they will be able to pay back after taking such loans.

Congratulations to future chop and runaway beneficiaries

CheapHomes1:


Why he asked the question is when will they "start a job"?

Firefyta:
I don't know if I'm the only one feeling so hopeless because I know fully well that this is a brazen lie and in coming years you'll hear how one politician has embezzled the whole funds
I'm scared to my heart that this country isn't getting better I swear to god.
May god make it easy on us

ForDanny:


You would just open your mouth and spit anything . Where have you seen interest free education lon anywhere in the world ?

Kobonaire234:
.

Not exactly. And even if you get the job, your salary may not be enough for you.



Good point.

ATLIEN2027:

Well said. Most Nigerians don't like to pay back loan. They are good at begging for help using religious sentiments but when it's time to pay back. That's when you will become the enemy.
Even most Nigerians in the US don't pay back student loans not to talk in Nigeria.

RexTramadol1:


As soon as their degree (grade) can carry them.

Gbajabiamila had argued in the proposed legislation that the hardship being faced by the unemployed and low-income earners coupled with the very high cost of living in Nigeria over the years made access to quality higher education difficult, stressful and in some cases impossible.
