Is Tinubu Nigeria’s Most Education-Centric President Ever? by Itzlinda(op): 10:25am On Jan 19
Whichever way one looks at it, no Nigerian president since Yar’Adua has shown as much commitment and concern for tertiary education as President Tinubu.
Beyond the 40% salary increase, it is particularly reassuring to hear that professors will now retire with 100% of their salaries as pension. That is a significant step in restoring dignity to the academic profession.
Equally important is the launch of NELFUND, a bold intervention that tackles one of the biggest barriers to tertiary education—access. By easing the financial burden on students and families, NELFUND strengthens the foundation of our universities from the bottom up.

While some argue that these measures are still insufficient when weighed against rising inflation, it is worth noting that if the two previous administrations had shown similar commitment, the sector would be in a far better position today.
In my view, President Tinubu has genuinely tried. He could easily have followed the path of his predecessors and done nothing—but he chose otherwise. I pray that he continues to consolidate on this positive trajectory.
May Allah assist the President in salvaging our tertiary institutions, which remain the bedrock of national development. Ameen.
Thank you, Maigari

I’d say Yes… With NELFUND implementation, ASUU resolution, TETFUND etc, there’s been relative progress in the education system

There are also testimonies of free technical education.

Balablu can't be bad 😞 in every aspect of human endeavours.

Even the devil 😈 do disguise 🥸 as an angel of light at times.

I will most reluctantly give him a pass mark in education.
