President Bola Tinubu has appointed Jim Ovia as the chairman of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, announced the
appointment of Ovia, chairman of Zenith Bank, in a statement on Friday.
Ngelale said Tinubu believes that Ovia will bring his
immense wealth of experience to ensure that no Nigerian student suffers a
paucity of funds in the quest for tertiary education.
On April 3, Tinubu signed the student loans amendment bill into law to provide Nigerians with quality and accessible education.
