NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the implementation of the student loan scheme is likely to be launched within the next three weeks.
This was indicated by the Chief of Staff to the President of Nigeria, Femi Gbajabiamila who expressed the administration’s commitment to ensuring its successful implementation.
This Nigeria news platform understands that Gbajabiamila made these remarks during his reception of a delegation from the National Association of Nigerian Students, led by its President, Lucky Emonefe, at the State House, Abuja.

He emphasized the president’s determination to see it through, urging Nigerian students to rally behind the initiative to ensure that no deserving, financially challenged student is overlooked in accessing the loan.
According to him, “Mr. President is absolutely determined that we see it through successfully.
“We are hoping it will be launched in the next two to three weeks, we are trying to dot the I(s) and the T(s) before it is launched to ensure we have policies that cannot be implemented.
“Now we are going to need you in the success of this policy because generally, it is a well-received policy .
“It is to make sure people are not deprived of their education just because of circumstances of their birth that itself is unconstitutional.
