Nigerians have continued to express mixed feelings as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday, signed the student loan bill passed by the National Assembly into law.

The new law empowers the Federal Government, FG, to establish an Education Bank which would approve loans to indigent Nigerian students.

He’s working so hard to legitimize the stolen mandate using propaganda. Student loan in a country with about 41% unemployment rate, and some people will fall for this deceit. Like how are the students supposed to pay back the loans after graduation with no jobs out there for them
