They should please not add schools in Abia state.

Abia is paying 20k as minimum wage and the Labor Party Governor is owing 3 months salaries.

Civil servants in Abia are impoverished and they have no means to pay back the loan. It will be bad debt.

Every govt invent a way to siphon fund,this govt conduit pipe to steal money is the construction of roads from one end of the country to the other end.
Lagos to calabar
Sokoto to Lagos

And student loan is another avenue to loot the nation.
There are no companies that can accommodate million of youth corp members yearly.
Now instead of empowering them they are creating loan for students.

What is the essence of subsidy removal?The billions generated are creating pain on the masses,now instead of paying workers minimum wage they are about to lavish it on students.
This is because minimum wage is accountable and student loan is will not be accountable.

Instead of maintaining old road,they are creating new once.

Using loan for postgraduate studies. The undergraduate studies you underwent, what did you use it to achieve economically?

PG studies should be by scholarships or self-sponsored.

Even if 60% of students don’t pay back, it is still better than politicians siphoning the money.

At least they too benefited directly from the government.

Labour Party in Abia is paying 20k per month. In most places in Lagos, 20k can't buy 5 shawarma and juice.

Yet, they want Abia students to collect student loan. How will their parents pay back?
