The Student Loan Bill, which offers interest-free loans to needy Nigerian students, was just signed into law by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).
Recall that Tinubu pledged to provide student loans throughout his campaign in an effort to expand the educational sector and increase the capabilities of young people.

At the British Royal Institute in London, Tinubu made the pledge.
[b]”Youths are the greatest asset of tomorrow,” Tinubu stated in Chatham House while answering attendees’ questions.
He mentioned the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and said that they would be a part of his “all-inclusive” administration.
[b]The educational system will be altered. With the idea that no one would be left behind, we would revamp it and make some adjustments. Everyone will be eligible for college financing. The Almajiri system will be improved, and additional schools will be built, instructors will be hired, and training will be provided, according to the former governor of Lagos State.
He claimed that, if elected, his government would also establish technological hubs where young people could learn digital skills to better hone their leadership abilities.
“Youths can even develop technological languages on their own and make a better 21st-century approach to governance in Nigeria,” he claimed.
The program on Monday included national security, international and economic issues, among others.
