Nigeria’s government, as described by President Bola Tinubu’s political campaign council, says it has disbursed ₦372.62bn in student loans and is running education reforms spanning multiple levels of schooling. The outlets report the figure as part of interventions aimed at improving education access and outcomes.
Premium Times adds that the reforms cover basic, secondary, technical and tertiary education, listing priority areas that include technical and vocational education, science and medical sciences, out-of-school children, girl-child education, digitalisation, and education quality assurance. It also reports that 156,446 TVET beneficiaries are being trained.
Vanguard and The Punch focus on additional access-related claims, saying the administration has returned more than one million out-of-school children to classrooms, referencing NELFUND. Across the stories, the shared emphasis is on education programme activity and scale, with details differing by outlet around training and out-of-school enrolment outcomes.
