On Monday, President Bola Tinubu announced the conclusion of the era of strikes within the country’s academic institutions. This declaration was made during his speech at the 29th annual Nigerian Economic Summit, organized by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) and held at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.

He revealed that the Students Loans Scheme under his administration will commence in January 2024.

“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 a Consumer Credit Scheme which will have to come to effect as soon as possible.

“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.
