The Federal Ministry of Education has said the implementation of the Student Loan scheme is expected to start in the 2023/2024 academic session. Its Permanent Secretary, David Adejo, announced this at a meeting with the House of Representatives Committee on Students Loans. The permanent secretary dismissed speculations that the signing of the Students Loan Act spurred several federal universities across the country to increase their charges.  He said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had directed that necessary works be completed on the modalities for the implementation of the loans scheme to ensure that it starts in earnest next month.
