Tinubu Approves Buses For SUGs

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has provided buses for student union governments to enable students move around their campuses without difficulty.

This is contained in a statement issued by his spokesman, Mr Dele Alake, on Monday, July 31.

Alake said that the development was in furtherance of the President’s desire to ease the burden of students as a result of the fuel subsidy removal and enable them to access their campuses with ease

According to him, “The provision of the buses will also remove the burden of additional cost of daily commuting on parents and guardians.

“In line with his promise to ensure no Nigerian student abandons his or her educational pursuits as a result of lack of money and economic circumstances of their parents, President Tinubu has also approved the removal of all restrictions on the students’ loan to make it available to any student or household that may desire it,” the statement read.

The spokesman said that the president also warned against arbitrary increase in school fees and directed principal officers of all federal institutions to halt such actions.

“Similarly, President Tinubu has directed the authorities in all federal institutions of higher learning to avoid arbitrary increase in sundry fees payable and where possible defer further increase so that parents and students don’t face too many difficulties.”

“While it is important to reiterate that President Tinubu has directed release of over 200,000 Metric Tonnes of grains to families in 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, the government is working to ensure that vulnerable students can also benefit from conditional cash transfers and food distribution.

“The Federal Government salutes the courage, wisdom and partnership of Nigerian students as our country navigates this challenging time.

“President Tinubu will continue to prioritise education and the needs of the students, improve welfare of teaching and non-academic staff and invest in infrastructure to make our institutions of higher learning become more globally competitive.”
