During his address at the 29th annual Nigerian Economic Summit, hosted by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja on Monday,
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared the impending end of industrial actions in the nation’s academic sector.
He revealed that this change would be ushered in with the commencement of the administration’s Students Loans Scheme in January 2024.
The president also added that while discussing his administration’s strategies to stabilise the economy through collaboration with all stakeholders, particularly the private sector, emphasized the immediate implementation of a sustainable credit program.
“By January 2024, the new Students Loan Programme must commence. To the future of our children and students we’re saying no more strikes.
“There must be consumer credit, scheme will have to come to effect as soon as possible. I thank my team and my colleagues to build this programme, develop it now. We cannot talk about anti-corruption when you have to look for cash to buy a car, when there’s no mortgage for homeownership,” he said.
