A student leader has expressed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, saying the government’s policies are positively impacting Nigerian students.
“At this juncture there’s no Nigeria student that’ll tell you they’re not enjoying the policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the student leader said, pointing to ongoing education-related interventions as key reasons for the perceived improvement in student welfare.
He specifically highlighted the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), describing it as a major relief for students facing financial difficulties. According to him, the initiative has helped cover school fees and provided monthly upkeep allowances for beneficiaries, making access to higher education less dependent on personal or family income.
The student leader also noted what he described as increased attention to the education sector through higher budgetary allocations under the current administration.
He further declared support for Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda in the forthcoming Senate election, stating that the lawmaker had previously contributed to student welfare through scholarships, fellowships, and campus engagements during his time in office.
“In fact, during his time at the Senate, there were numerous policies that favoured Nigerian students,” he said.
He contrasted this with the current senator, alleging a lack of similar engagement with students or comparable initiatives.
“These are things that the current senator has not done,” he added.
The student leader said his voting decision is based on credibility, capacity, ideas, and ideology rather than political sentiment or affiliation.
