Beneficiaries Of Student Loan In Other Countries Committing Su!c!de – ASUU
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has further expressed concerns over the planned student loan, saying beneficiaries of such initiative in other countries were committing suicide as a result of debts.
The union, therefore, asked President Bola Tinubu to change the newly assented Students Loans Act to grants for poor students.
ASUU National President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, gave the advice on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
He said: “This would have been better if we are giving it to those set of students who are very poor, it should be called a grant, not a loan.
