Femi Gbajabiamila, outgoing speaker of the house of
representatives, has hailed President Bola Tinubu for signing the student loan
bill into law.
Tinubu signed the bill on Monday to support Nigerian
students in tertiary institutions with access to financial assistance while
acquiring education
In a statement on Monday by Lanre Lasisi, special adviser on
media and publicity to the outgoing speaker, Gbajabiamila said the new law has
secured the future of Nigerians.
He said Nigerian students in higher institutions will not be
denied education due to financial difficulties.
Gbajabiamila who was recently appointed as Tinubu’s chief of
staff, said the president’s actions have shown that Nigerians will enjoy good
governance.
He said unemployed and low-income earners in Nigeria have
been experiencing hardship triggered by the high cost of living, adding that
the country’s economic situation has made access to quality education
difficult.
He said a well-educated population is essential to national
development, adding that education should be regarded as a public good that
benefits the entire nation.
“When the actions of
the president are viewed critically and without prejudice, it is reassuring
that Nigerians are bound to enjoy good governance if the legislature and the
executive will continue this symbiotic relationship that has brought massive
change into governance within such a short period in the life of this
administration,” the statement reads.
“While I congratulate Nigerians on this new feat, I will
equally implore our indigent youths to maximize the advantage of the new law
that will enable them to chart the future they crave for themselves.”
He urged Nigerians to support Tinubu’s decisions to enable
him to deliver good governance to the citizens.
