Nigerian Human Activist, Omoyele Sowore has reacted to the latest Student’s Loan bill signed into law by President Tinubu, on Monday.
Sahel Standard reported earlier that President Tinubu signed Student’s Loan bill into law on Monday. The bill will enable students to access loans at interest free rates.
However, Sowore has taken to his Twitter page to stated that Student’s loans are never good for a society that needs to aggressively fund education.
According to his tweets “Thee #US has more or less devoured its young and old educated population with #studentloans. What Nigerian youth need now is free quantitative education at all levels.
“Many US citizens today are victims of education loans whereas the US spends unconscionable amounts in fighting wars that benefits none of their citizens.
“Every student in our educational institutions at the higher levels should earn nothing less than N100k per semester as study grant.
“Even the US has evolved past this stage and are now seeking ways to massively forgo student’s loans.
PS: I’ve spoken extensively about loans because I am still owing student loan sharks 20 years after graduating from Columbia University in New York.
Nothing good will come out students’ loans. #Revolutionnow #Educationmustbefree
