Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has directed the management of the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to expand its focus area by extending interest-free loans to local students interested in skill-development programs.
Tinubu gave the directive at the State House on Monday, saying it is important for the scheme to accommodate those who may not want to pursue university education.
He explained that skill acquisition is "as important as obtaining undergraduate and graduate academic qualifications," emphasizing the importance of equipping young Nigerians with practical skills that are essential for success in today's dynamic workforce.
