Speaking at the 33rd convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) in Ondo State on Saturday, President Tinubu emphasized his government’s dedication to addressing the challenges facing higher education in Nigeria.

The President, represented by Professor King-David Terna Yawe of the National University Commission (NUC), acknowledged the difficulties facing the education sector but highlighted the steps his administration is taking to alleviate these concerns. He pointed to the Student Loan Bill, signed into law shortly after his inauguration, as a testament to his government’s commitment to supporting students.

“My government will not shirk its responsibilities in this area,” President Tinubu said. “We will guarantee that educational institutions receive the necessary resources to effectively carry out their statutory responsibilities. One of my first actions as President of Nigeria was to sign the Student Loan Bill into law to put this into action.”

He elaborated on the provisions of the bill, explaining that it will provide interest-free loans to financially challenged students in all tertiary institutions. These loans will be repaid at the students’ convenience upon securing employment.

“Under my leadership, and as I have outlined in my manifesto, no student will be forced to drop out of school due to an inability to pay tuition,” President Tinubu declared.

Earlier in the ceremony, FUTA Vice Chancellor Prof Adenike Temidayo Oladiji expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his unwavering support of the education sector. She commended his efforts to enhance the quality of education and make it accessible to all Nigerians.

It was reported that an alliance was formed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Allied Movement (PAM), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Young Progressives Party (YPP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), on Wednesday in Abuja at the National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

In response, Felix Morka, the APC national publicity secretary, said, “We are not concerned about that.” He added, “Whatever they (opposition) do is their business, and they should justify themselves before Nigerians.”

Morka acknowledged the APC’s own formation from various parties in 2013 but said the party would not be distracted by the new move by the “opposition elements.”

This follows a proposal made in November by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for the opposition to unite due to concerns about the country’s potential slide into a one-party state.
