President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, signed the Access to Higher Education Act (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2024, otherwise known as Student Loan Bill, into law.
Tinubu had initially signed the student loan bill into law in June 2023, with the aim of offering financial assistance to Nigerian students in tertiary institutions.
But the implementation of the law has faced delays due to various issues hindering its roll out.
Following the impediments in its implementation, Finish asked the national assembly to repeal and re-enact the student loan law.
After the amendments made to the repeal and re-enact the law by the natioanal assembly, Tinubu signed it into law.
