Former President Obasanjo calls on President Tinubu to include students in private universities as beneficiaries in the Student Loan Scheme being floated by his government, doubts if the scheme will be run without corruption but claimed it was another matter entirely.

He said, “The Vice-Chancellor has spoken about the need to include students in private universities as beneficiaries of the Student Loan Scheme.

‘I urged the government to listen to that and take heed to include them too. I doubt if the scheme will be run without corruption, that is another matter entirely.”

The proprietor of Bell University of Technology, Obasanjo, stated that it would be detrimental to exclude a certain group of individuals from the loan programme since it was essential to the welfare of the populace and the advancement of society.
