Tinubu’s Student Loan Scheme a Pathway to Liberation — Reps Member!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
Hon. Remi Oseni, member of the House of Representatives representing Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency of Oyo State, has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s student loan initiative as “a pathway to liberation” for underprivileged Nigerian youths.
What We Know:
- Oseni made the remarks during a town hall meeting with constituents on Saturday, October 18, 2025.
- He said the loan scheme would “bridge the gap between poverty and opportunity” by making higher education accessible to all.
- The lawmaker urged students to apply as the program opens its application portal later this month.
Quote:
“This scheme is not just a policy; it’s a lifeline for the common Nigerian child. Education must never be a privilege of the rich.” — Hon. Remi Oseni
Why It Matters:
- The student loan program is part of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and aims to provide zero-interest loans to eligible students in tertiary institutions.
- Rising tuition costs have kept many Nigerian youths out of school; this scheme may change that narrative.
- Lawmakers and education advocates say proper implementation will be key to its success.
