Student loan: NANS demands ASUU’s removal from board
Leaders of the National Nigerian Students Association visited President Bola Tinub on Tuesday to ask about the student loan law he enacted on Monday.
The NANS delegation was headed by the organization's National President Umar Balambu.
After meeting with the president, Balambu said he had asked state legislative correspondents to review the composition of the task force overseeing Nigeria's new education loan fund and include student representatives.
NANS President said: "Thank you President for the Student Loan Act. We've listed the clauses we're less satisfied with. And part of that is an organizational issue that we told the president that at least student representatives should be recorded and there are some organizations that record that, but they don't think we do. They don't record it because they have to.
“We have set an example for him, especially the Nigerian Bar Association, ASUU. I don't think it makes sense to have them on our board, which is made up entirely of students.
"We are the bank's most important stakeholder. So I don't think it's a good idea to allow them to be there. Not only them, but also many others who should be encouraged to abandon student-centered organizations. "
